This is GitHub\u2019s collection of .gitignore<\/code> file templates. We use this list to populate the .gitignore<\/code> template choosers available in the GitHub.com interface when creating new repositories and files.<\/p>\n

For more information about how .gitignore<\/code> files work, and how to use them, the following resources are a great place to start:<\/p>\n

Folder structure<\/h2>\n

The files in the root directory are for .gitignore<\/code> templates that are project specific, such as language or framework specific templates. Global (operating system or editor specific) templates should go into the Global\/<\/code> directory.<\/p>\n

Contributing guidelines<\/h2>\n

We\u2019d love you to help us improve this project. To help us keep this collection high quality, we request that contributions adhere to the following guidelines.<\/p>\n

    \n
  • \n

    Provide a link to the application or project\u2019s homepage<\/strong>. Unless it\u2019s extremely popular, there\u2019s a chance the maintainers don\u2019t know about or use the language, framework, editor, app, or project your change applies to.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  • \n

    Provide links to documentation<\/strong> supporting the change you\u2019re making. Current, canonical documentation mentioning the files being ignored is best. If documentation isn\u2019t available to support your change, do the best you can to explain what the files being ignored are for.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  • \n

    Explain why you\u2019re making a change<\/strong>. Even if it seems self-evident, please take a sentence or two to tell us why your change or addition should happen. It\u2019s especially helpful to articulate why this change applies to everyone<\/em> who works with the applicable technology, rather than just you or your team.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  • \n

    Please consider the scope of your change<\/strong>. If your change specific to a certain language or framework, then make sure the change is made to the template for that language or framework, rather than to the template for an editor, tool, or operating system.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  • \n

    Please only modify one template<\/em> per pull request<\/strong>. This helps keep pull requests and feedback focused on a specific project or technology.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    In general, the more you can do to help us understand the change you\u2019re making, the more likely we\u2019ll be to accept your contribution quickly.<\/p>\n

    Please also understand that we can\u2019t list every tool that ever existed. Our aim is to curate a collection of the most common and helpful<\/em> templates, not to make sure we cover every project possible. If we choose not to include your language, tool, or project, it\u2019s not because it\u2019s not awesome.<\/p>\n

    Contributing workflow<\/h2>\n

    Here\u2019s how we suggest you go about proposing a change to this project:<\/p>\n

    Using the web-based interface to make changes is fine too, and will help you by automatically forking the project and prompting to send a pull request too.<\/p>\n
