What is the procedure for updating gitignore files?

[MatthiasKauer]

Hi,
I have noticed that the tex template misses a number of files like .auxlock.
This has been corrected upstream in June https://github.com/github/gitignore/commits/master/TeX.gitignore if I interpret the relationship between these two projects correctly.

Is the only option now to wait for someone to update here as well? Can I make myself useful and submit a pull request with updated subtree (or submodule)?. Have you thought about a process for this?

Kind regards,
Matthias

Ok, it's a submodule and updating should hence be quite quick.

I suppose the update command OP 'csu' suggests won't work with the pip version, or am I mistaken?
