Dependencies & Package Registries
External libraries and package manager directories installed locally rather than stored in version control.
Build Outputs & Compiled Artifacts
Generated binary files, compilation targets, and distribution bundles that can be reliably reproduced from source.
Environment Secrets & Local Overrides
Local environment configurations, secrets, and credentials intended to protect developer-specific settings from exposure.
Execution Caches & Runtime Logs
Diagnostic logs, runtime metadata, test coverage reports, and incremental compiler caches that cause noisy repository diffs.
Source & Verification
Place this file in the root directory of your project as .gitignore. Changes take effect on newly added or untracked files.
