What is a .gitignore file?

A .gitignore file tells Git which files and directories to ignore when tracking changes. Common exclusions include build artifacts, dependency folders like node_modules/, IDE configuration files, and sensitive environment files.

Tips

  • Always add your OS to ignore .DS_Store (macOS) or Thumbs.db (Windows).
  • Add your IDE or editor to keep personal workspace settings out of the repo.
  • Never commit .env files — add them to .gitignore and use a .env.example template instead.
  • Place the .gitignore file in the root of your repository.
