Description
Description
Would be nice to have support for a global ignore file. In Git you can do this by: git config --global core.excludesFile '~/.gitignore'
Suggested Solution
OpenCommit can read global ~/.opencommitignore file. The ignore file of the local project will be merged with the global one if it exists.

- Read the whole issue, then the project's contributing guide.
- Comment on the issue to say you are picking it up — it saves two people doing the same work.
- Fork the repository and make your change on a branch.
- Open a pull request that references the issue number.
Research direction
Start by locating the existing handling of the local project ignore file and the entry point that reads it. Check how a user-level ~/.opencommitignore should be discovered and merged with the local file, then verify that both ignore sources affect generated commit messages.
