There's a git ignore pattern for all the Visual Studio projects on GitHub: gitignore/VisualStudio.gitignore. But I'm working specifically for SQL Server Business Intelligence solution in VS, and it seems that files like *.ispac are not ignored. Is there any more specific pattern available for these projects ?

Open Visual Studio and the solution needing an ignore file. From the top menu select Git > Settings. The above will open Visual Studio's Options with Source Control > Git Global Settings selected. From the list on the left select Git Repository Settings and then click the Add button for Ignore file.
If you want to ignore a file that you've committed in the past, you'll need to delete the file from your repository and then add a . gitignore rule for it. Using the --cached option with git rm means that the file will be deleted from your repository, but will remain in your working directory as an ignored file.
Visual Studio automatically creates a . gitignore file in your repo when you create a new repo for your project. You can edit your . gitignore file for your repo by going to the Settings view in Team Explorer, then selecting Repository Settings.
In Visual Studio 2015 Team Explorer > Local Git Repositories > Project > Settings > Git > Repository Settings > Ignore & Attribute Files.You can add .gitignore file with items should be ignored in visual studio solutions by default.
Since your project may be a subfolder of your solution, and the .gitignore file is stored in the solution root, this actually won't touch the local database files (Git sees them at projectfolder/App_Data/*.mdf ). To account for this, I changed those lines like so:

I did some googling this morning on this and I found the following file. It looks pretty complete so I will give it a try. The *.ispac files are in the bin directory so they should be ignored anyway thanks to the rule for ignoring bin and obj.
