There is no default global gitignore file unless you specify in Git configuration. The default ones are .git/info/exclude for specific repository and per-directory .gitignore.
Every time I create a new repository, I always end up writing the same glob pattern for Vim swap file again and again. Spending and wasting time for exactly same patterns.

1 Steps
1.1 Adding global gitignore file
1.1.1 Manually
If you want a global gitignore, then you can set up core.excludesfile with path to your global gitignore file, copy one you have been using from a repository to ~/.gitignore and add the following to ~/.gitconfig:
[core]
excludesfile = ~/.gitignore
It will work on all repositories.
1.1.2 Using git
If you don’t want to manually edit Git configuration file, you can simply run:
git config --global core.excludesfile ~/.gitignore
The configuration file will be updated automatically.
1.2 Adding ignore patterns
After setting up the ~/.gitignore to ~/.gitconfig, you can now add patterns to the ignore files just like you do with repository’s .gitignore.
GitHub maintains a collection of gitignore templates, that might give you some ideas to start.
