The way I understand .gitignore is that it's just a hidden file that
lists what files you want git to ignore so it doesn't show up in your
repository.  It resides inside the folder of the app that directly
coincides with the file you want to ignore.  The way you do this is by
typing a command in your command line that tells Git to "ignore" the
file.

However, I don't understand it good enough yet to give you an example
because even though somehow I managed to accomplish the .gitignore
file and "ignore" my databese.yml file, I'm not sure I understand how
to do it again lol..

Do a search for .gitignore and there are several examples out there on
the web.  That's pretty much what I did, because for some reason
Githubs help page on gitignore doesn't really help you accomplish it,
it seems a bit cryptic if you ask me.  But if you want to check it
out, you can find the page here:  http://help.github.com/git-ignore/
