Gitignore:
The .gitignore
file is a text file used by Git to specify intentionally untracked files that Git should ignore. These files are typically generated as part of the build process, contain sensitive information, or are specific to a developer's local environment. The .gitignore
file helps prevent these files from being accidentally committed to the Git repository. Follow the steps to use the .gitignore
file:
List the contents of the directory.
-
Create a
.gitignore
file and include the files/folders that you want to ignore. -
Stage the files. You'll see that the file we included in the
.gitignore
file is not staged. -
Commit the changes.
-
Push the changes to remote.
-
Check the remote repository.
