I'm starting out with Unity and I've noticed that even with small code changes result in a large git diff.

Originally, my .gitignore just had this: Temp/

but it's not doing much heavy lifting.

I found this .gitignore template on Github, but I'm curious if anyone else uses this--either as a starting point or as-is.

I use to use that same .gitignore with no issues at all, as-is. Works on both macOS and Windows.

    As mentioned in the linked duplicate, the other thing you will want to do is set [Force Text Asset Serialization](https://i.stack.imgur.com/luaOL.png) to make assets much more friendly to diff when you do a git check-in. – Scott Chamberlain Mar 09 '17 at 17:43
