Key Pattern Breakdown

Dependencies & Package Registries

External libraries and package manager directories installed locally rather than stored in version control.

node_modules/

Environment Secrets & Local Overrides

Local environment configurations, secrets, and credentials intended to protect developer-specific settings from exposure.

.env.env.local.env.*.local

Execution Caches & Runtime Logs

Diagnostic logs, runtime metadata, test coverage reports, and incremental compiler caches that cause noisy repository diffs.
