-# Check How A File Is Being Ignored
-
-There are a few places on your machine where you can specify the files that git
-should ignore. The most common is a repository's `.gitignore` file. The other
-places those excludes are specified can be more obscure. Fortunately, `git
-check-ignore` is a command that can show you specifically where.
-
-For instance, let's check why my `notes.md` file is being ignored.
-
-```bash
-$ git check-ignore -v .DS_Store
-.git/info/exclude:7:notes.md   notes.md
-```
-
-At some point I added it to my repo's `.git/info/exclude` file. The `-v` flag
-(_verbose_) when included with `check-ignore` tells me the file location.
-
-How about these pesky `.DS_Store` directories? How are those being ignored?
-
-```bash
-git check-ignore .DS_Store -v
-/Users/jbranchaud/.gitignore:3:.DS_Store        .DS_Store
-```
-
-Ah yes, I had added it to my _global exclude file_ which I've configured in
-`~/.gitconfig` to be the `~/.gitignore` file.
-
-See `man git-check-ignore` for more details.

-# Ensure Resources Always Get Closed
-
-Java has a construct known as _try-with-resource_ that allows us to always
-ensure opened resources get closed. This is safer than similar cleanup in the
-`finally` block which could still leave a memory leak if an error occurs in
-that block.
-
-To use the _try-with-resource_ construct, instantiate your opened resource in
-parentheses with the `try`.
-
-```java
-try (BufferedReader reader = new BufferedReader(new FileReader(filename))) {
-  // ...
-}
-```
-
-The resource will be automatically closed when the try/catch block completes.
-
-Here is a full example:
-
-```java
-import java.io.BufferedReader;
-import java.io.FileReader;
-import java.io.IOException;
-
-public class FileReaderExample {
-    public static void main(String[] args) {
-        String fileName = "example.txt";
-        
-        try (BufferedReader reader = new BufferedReader(new FileReader(fileName))) {
-            String line;
-            int lineCount = 0;
-            
-            while ((line = reader.readLine()) != null && lineCount < 5) {
-                System.out.println(line);
-                lineCount++;
-            }
-        } catch (IOException e) {
-            System.out.println("An error occurred while reading the file: " + e.getMessage());
-        }
-    }
-}
-```
-
-You can even specify multiple resources in one `try`. The above does that, but
-this will make it more obvious:
-
-```java
-try (FileReader fr = new FileReader(filename);
-     BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(fr)) {
-  // ...
-}
-```

-# Switch Moving End Of Visual Selection
-
-When I go into character-wise visual selection mode, one end of the visual
-selection is fixed while I move my cursor around to define the other end of it.
-
-Let's say I've arranged a visual selection that encompasses several lines of my
-file. And then I realize that the fixed front-end of my visual selection is off
-by a bit. Maybe I've selected an entire function definition and I just want to
-inner part of the function.
-
-Instead of starting over with my visual selection. I can leave the right-end of
-the visual selection where it is, hit `o` which will switch the moving end to
-the other side, and then continue making adjustments from there.
-
-I can always hit `o` again to switch it back to the original side.
-
-See `:h v_o` for more details.
