    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;

        Do the reading b&#x2F;c there&#x27;s a machine that has done all the reading so it&#x27;s hard to add value if you maintain the anti-intellectualism of 2010s software dev.
