dotfiles - Why does .lesshst keep showing up in my ~ -

i never utilize less, , have used more. introduced to, why utilize more more instead of using less more. ( sorry, going sound bit of mess :) )

i tried less , couldn't quit out of it, until realized took vi/vim style command. @ least, believe happened.

by in ~ there .lesshst file, rm time, prefer utilize more or nano simple stuff , can utilize textmate simple text editing, or sublime or whatever else in mood for.

i noticed ".jbapps-myusername" in ~ well. showed 2 days ago, , don't recall installing strange. thought is? have never jailbroken phone, , don't install hacks on machine. things go gray area getting played in vm, not on core of machine working on main computer.

$file .jbapps-haneda .jbapps-haneda: ascii text, no line terminators

the contents of .jbapps-* file "483^@" no leading or trailing newlines, carriage returns etc.

then there git issue. have .config directory, within "git" dir, within file called "ignore", far can tell, near identical .gitignore_global. did git create .config, or convention other apps utilize well?

that brings me final issue, in ~ have .gitignore_global, .gitconfig, , .config/git/ignore

seems mess me, love mv .gitignore_global .gitconfig .config/git there config somewhere can define these locations? it's mess of dot files, much nicer if ~ had .config , dot files in there. can live .ssh directory, there @ to the lowest degree effort not litter home dir. raw dot files kind of in way. know can ls -l , not show dot files, think seeing files time way larn has been created might not aware of.

thank you.

suggestions?

filenames starting . (lightly) hidden files. they're utilize programs record configuration or usage information. that's recorded lastly time used program; that's case less , .lesshist "history" file.

if aren't sure programme created file, websearch reply question... i'm leaving understanding rest of files exercise reader.
