## Questions

Why so much shorter than the official templates?+

Because those carry decades of tooling nobody uses any more, and a file nobody reads is a file where a real mistake hides. These are the lines that earn their place today.

What about files already committed?+

A gitignore only affects untracked files. For something already in the history, run git rm --cached on it first, and rotate it if it was a secret: it stays in the history either way.

Should I ignore the lock file?+

No, commit it: the point of a lock file is that everyone installs the same tree. The one exception is a Rust library, where Cargo.lock is conventionally left out.

Does a gitignore work in a subfolder?+

Yes. A .gitignore applies to its own folder and everything under it, and patterns without a slash match at any depth. A pattern that starts with a slash is anchored to the file's own folder, which is how you ignore /build without ignoring src/build.
