Each line in a .gitignore file specifies a pattern. When deciding whether to ignore a path, Git normally checks .gitignore patterns from multiple sources… https://git-scm.com/docs/gitignore
PATTERN FORMAT
- # – comment
- foo/ – will match a directory foo
- ! – negates the pattern
/**-matches everything inside.
Android studio default .gitignore:
.gradle /local.properties /.idea/workspace.xml /.idea/libraries .DS_Store /build /captures
