Creating a .gitignore file

If you've used a Git repository before, you've probably seen a .gitignore file in there. This file is used to tell Git which files to ignore (you mean it's not just a clever name?) when it commits or suggests files that are untracked, changed, and so on:

Figure 4.30 – The .gitignore file

You can also use this file to exclude files from the repository that contain sensitive information, or local files that should not be shared with others or placed in the repository. It's just a text file, and each line represents something to ignore. It can be either a file or a directory.
