  1. This is from GitHub’s help files:

    *.log
.htaccess
sitemap.xml
sitemap.xml.gz
wp-config.php
wp-content/advanced-cache.php
wp-content/backup-db/
wp-content/backups/
wp-content/blogs.dir/
wp-content/cache/
wp-content/upgrade/
wp-content/uploads/
wp-content/wp-cache-config.php

  2. Posting this as an answer because it seems I can’t comment on answers.

    I suggest the following (based on Dales answer):

    .htaccess
wp-config.php
wp-content/*
!wp-content/themes/
!wp-content/plugins/
sitemap.xml
*.log
sitemap.xml
sitemap.xml.gz

    What it does is that it first ignores everything within wp-content but then makes exceptions for the wp-content/themes/ and wp-content/plugins/ folders.
