Add Proper .gitignore with AI Prompts

Create a comprehensive .gitignore for my project. Analyze the codebase and include entries for:

1. Environment and secrets:
   • .env, .env.local, .env.*.local
   • Any file containing credentials, keys, or secrets
   • Configuration files with sensitive data
2. Dependencies:
   • node_modules, vendor, venv, pycache
   • Package lock files if not needed
3. Build outputs:
   • dist, build, .next, out
   • Compiled files
4. IDE and editor:
   • .idea, .vscode (except shared settings)
   • *.swp, *.swo
5. OS files:
   • .DS_Store, Thumbs.db
6. Logs and temp files:
   • *.log, logs/
   • tmp, temp, cache

Also:

• Add comments explaining each section
• Check if any currently tracked files should be untracked
• Create entries specific to this project's tech stack

Create a .gitignore optimized for a Next.js project.

Include:

• .next/ and out/ build directories
• .env.local, .env.*.local (but NOT .env.example)
• node_modules
• Coverage reports
• TypeScript build info
• Vercel deployment files
• IDE settings
• OS files

Also add comments explaining why each entry is ignored.

Make sure these are NOT ignored:

• .env.example (template for other devs)
• next.config.js
• package.json and package-lock.json
• tsconfig.json

Create a .gitignore for a Python project.

Include:

• pycache and *.pyc files
• venv, .venv, env directories
• .env files (but NOT .env.example)
• *.egg-info and dist
• .pytest_cache
• .coverage and htmlcov
• .mypy_cache
• Jupyter notebook checkpoints
• Database files (*.sqlite3, *.db)
• IDE settings

For Django specifically, also include:

• staticfiles/ (collected static)
• media/ (user uploads)
• local_settings.py

Add comments explaining each section.

Create a .gitignore for a Node.js backend project.

Include:

• node_modules
• .env files (NOT .env.example)
• dist, build output directories
• logs and *.log files
• coverage reports
• .npm cache
• TypeScript build outputs
• IDE settings
• OS files

Consider:

• If using a monorepo, handle root and package-level ignores
• Docker-related files that shouldn't be committed
• Test output files

Audit my .gitignore for security issues and add any missing entries.

Check for:

1. Environment files: .env, .env.*, *.env
2. Credential files: credentials.json, service-account.json, keyfile.json
3. SSH keys: *.pem, *.key, id_rsa, id_ed25519
4. Certificate files: *.crt, *.cer, *.p12
5. Database files: *.sqlite, *.db
6. Backup files: *.bak, *.backup, *.sql
7. Config files that might contain secrets
8. IDE files that might cache credentials

Also check if any sensitive files are already tracked by git that need to be removed from tracking.

I added entries to .gitignore but the files are still being tracked. Help me properly remove them.

For each file that should be ignored but is still tracked:

1. Run: git rm --cached filename
2. Or for directories: git rm -r --cached directory
3. The files will remain on disk but stop being tracked

After removing from tracking:

1. Verify with git status
2. Commit the changes
3. The files will now be properly ignored

Also check:

• Are any of these files in git history with sensitive data?
• Do I need to clean git history too?
