gitignore

When publishing your project's source code to the internet,
consider using a gitignore file.
A gitignore file tells Git which files to ignore.

Using gitignore:
1. Create a file named ".gitignore"
2. Enter file names for files you want to keep private.
	Ex:
    node_modules
	.DS_Store
	.env

gitignore

Create a file named ".gitignore" on the outer most place of your project
add the file or folder names you want git to ignore before pushing.
Example- node_modules

gitignore

# you might want to hide all the files, this helps if you don't want '.gitignore' showing up in your repo

# in terminal within the project directory
open .git/info/exclude 

# file opens as below with example

# git ls-files --others --exclude-from=.git/info/exclude
# Lines that start with '#' are comments.
# For a project mostly in C, the following would be a good set of
# exclude patterns (uncomment them if you want to use them):
# *.[oa]
# *~
example-1.py
example-2.py
example-3.py
example-4.py

# when you use: git add .
# example 1 to 4 files will be ignored
