Answer 1

Here is what I use with Webstorm and Meteor 1.4 deployed with Mupx.

# Meteor files to ignore now handled by .ignore file within .Meteor folder automatically

# settings file to ignore to protect API keys
settings.json

# MUP / MUPX file to ignore to protect server passwords and sensitive info.
mup.json

# npm package files to ignore
node?modules/
npm-debug.log

# Webstorm IDE files to ignore
.idea/*

# Typing type definition files to ignore. Webstorm uses type definitions for autocomplete even without typescript
typings/*

Answer 2

### MeteorJS ###
# default meteor build and local packages
.meteor/local

# meteor settings file
settings.json

# meteor build output files
*.tar.gz

# general swp files from vim
*.swp

# End of https://www.gitignore.io/api/meteorjs

Answer 3

.meteor/local is the only thing you want missing from version control.

Meteor automatically generates a .gitignore file that would fit your needs.

If it's a public repository you'll likely want to include "settings-development.json" or any other JSON files containing information you don't want to disclose to the public such as AWS API keys.

However Bitbucket and some others provides free private repositories which should fit your needs.
