// the line below is .stignore's content, i.e. put both this and .stglobalignore in the root of your sync folder(s) (where .stfolder resides)
// main reason for include is because syncthing then syncs this file too, and updates don't ruin my careful ignore project ;-)
// see also https://forum.syncthing.net/t/useful-stignore-patterns/1175
#include .stglobalignore
