How to set an optional .gitignore filename for a repository? Is it possible?
For example, for GIT to take the ignore rules from two files:
.gitignore
and
.gitignore_project1
Or only from .gitignore_project1

man git-config
core.excludesFile
In addition to .gitignore (per-directory) and .git/info/exclude, Git looks into this file for patterns of files which are not meant to be tracked. "~/" is expanded to the
value of $HOME and "~user/" to the specified user's home directory. Its default value is $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/git/ignore. If $XDG_CONFIG_HOME is either not set or empty,
$HOME/.config/git/ignore is used instead. See gitignore(5).
from which, by the way, it follows that .gitignore is also taken into account in each project directory
