What is a .gitignore file?

A .gitignore file tells Git which files and directories to ignore when committing. This prevents build artifacts, dependency folders, environment files, and OS-generated files from cluttering your repository.

Why is it important?

  • Security — Prevents secrets in .env files from being committed.
  • Clean repos — Keeps node_modules/, __pycache__/, and build output out of your history.
  • Smaller clones — Reduces repo size by excluding generated files.
