Edit global .gitignore file and configure git accordingly if it doesn't exist

Open edit-global-gitignore in Script Kit

It may make sense to unignore the db/_edit-global-gitignore.json database file if you want to share your global gitignore between computers (that share the same .kenv).

As a JetBrains user, this script comes in very handy when needing to ignore some of the Plugin config files that are automatically created in the .idea folder:

**/.idea/GitLink.xml
**/.idea/deploymentTargetDropDown.xml
**/.idea/gbrowser_project.xml
**/.idea/highlightedFiles.xml
**/.idea/discord.xml
**/.idea/developer-tools.xml
**/.idea/CustomInspectionsConfig.xml

// Name: Edit global .gitignore
// Description: Opens an editor with the global .gitignore file and sets it up if it doesn't exist
