Use a global git ignore to ignore files that should always be ignored as well as files that are particular to you. For example .vscode is a folder that stores workspace settings. Not everyone on the team may be using .vscode and hence its not really the right place, ideally, to ignore it.
Git docs about where global ignore file can be stored. The one I prefer is using ~/.config/git/ignore: link.
A gist containing what Github says is a good base for global ignore: link.
