.gitignore

"Pro tip"

You may want to create a .gitignore file (perhaps using this one as a template) to prevent binary files like https://github.com/dmccallie/HelloWorld/blob/master/helloworld/world.pyc

from being committed to your git repo :-)

I figured that github would have been smart enough to already know that, but I found out otherwise. Thanks for the tip.
