Added LaTeX gitignore file
Reasons for making this change:
- With more people using latex to write their research papers, books, etc. Having a quick gitignore that includes all the intermediary & build files will make backing things up easier.
- I've recently started backing up my latex work on github and came here looking for a template like this, didn't find it so I made one.
- This includes all the different file formats used by the different build
systems like
latexmk,pdflatex, etc.
Links to documentation supporting these rule changes:
- Couldn't find documentation listing all the different build files, but here's a github issue mentioning them: https://github.com/lervag/vimtex/issues/1297
- All these files are generated when
vimtexruns the underlying latex build system - And here's a link from
latexmkdocs mentioning it creates a bunch of temporary files: https://mg.readthedocs.io/latexmk.html - You can also verify this by building latex files locally.
If this is a new template:

Hi! great idea! I was just about to create the PR and found this. May I suggest not including .pdf extension? ... many images are in pdf formats so that might be a problem, wouldn't it?
I proposed some additional changes to the @devceline 's PR in https://github.com/devceline/gitignore/pull/1

Yep, I did consider that. Will be removing the *.pdf from the template
If capitals are relevant....it should be LaTeX.gitignore...
Yep, considering CMake is spelled with proper capitalization, I'll quickly rename the file.
