I created a global .gitignore file (see https://help.github.com/articles/ignoring-files#global-gitignore) but how can I make this used for all my projects in SmartGit without adding it to the repositories?

    Did you configure the global gitignore file (see http://stackoverflow.com/questions/7335420)? If it works for command line, it will work for SmartGit as well. – mstrap Jan 06 '14 at 09:57

If you configure 

git config --global core.excludesfile '~/.gitignore'

This also takes effect on Smartgit
