This is great, and nicely written up in the context of agentic repos etc, but presumably no-one reads the official docs, right: <a href="https://git-scm.com/docs/gitignore" rel="nofollow">https://git-scm.com/docs/gitignore where the multiple ways of ignoring files are clearly stated?

  I have never seen these two files in any git repository I've cloned so far.

    That’s because, unlike .gitignore, they are not committed.
