Of all the CSS attributes that are available to web developes, the vertical-align attribute is perhaps the most mystifying. At first glance, the attribute seems like the vertical aligning cousin of the text-align attribute, but when you try and use it to vertically-centre your elements, it doesn’t work!

If you’re using a Git-based source control, you might be familiar with the use of a .gitignore file to list files which Git is supposed to ignore when tracking files and making commits. This can be particularly useful when using Git (if you’re using GitHub Desktop, you’re also using Git) as a source control tool for projects that generate temporary or user-specific files at every run, such as Unity, as these files cannot be shared across different users of the project.
Sometimes, when setting up the repository, because of a .gitignore that is not properly set up, files that you intend to be ignored can actually get committed into the repository. If that happens, retroactively applying the .gitignore list will not help.
