   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:&#x2F;&#x2F;git-scm.com&#x2F;docs&#x2F;gitignore" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;git-scm.com&#x2F;docs&#x2F;gitignore where the multiple ways of ignoring files are clearly stated?

      There is a tweet doing numbers on Twitter right now which is effectively:

      &quot;Do the reading b&#x2F;c you would be amazed how many people don&#x27;t do the reading&quot;

         So many people treat git commands like magic words, and then are terrified when they mess up their repo (example in this xkcd... <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;xkcd.com&#x2F;1597&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;xkcd.com&#x2F;1597&#x2F;)

         Reading documentation is a superpower

            I&#x27;m definitely the friend in the alt-text of this comic. What do you mean you haven&#x27;t read gitcore-tutorial(7)??
