FAQ
What is a .gitignore file?
A .gitignore file tells Git which files or directories to ignore in a project. This prevents tracking of build artifacts, dependencies, sensitive files, and IDE configurations.
What patterns are supported?
Gitignore supports glob patterns including wildcards (*), directory matching (/), negation (!), and double asterisks (**) for matching nested directories. Comments start with #.
Can I combine multiple templates?
Yes, you can select multiple templates and combine them. This is useful for projects that use multiple technologies, like a Node.js backend with a Python ML component.
