Create new gitignore file on git bash

To create a new .gitignore file in Git Bash, you can follow these steps:

  1. Open Git Bash and navigate to the root directory of your project using the cd command.
  2. Run the command touch.gitignore to create a new file named .gitignore.
  3. Open the .gitignore file in a text editor using the command code.gitignore (or your preferred text editor).
  4. Add the files or directories you want to ignore to the .gitignore file, one per line. For example:
    node_modules/
    *.log
    *.tmp
  5. Save the .gitignore file and close the text editor.
  6. Run the command git add.gitignore to stage the new .gitignore file.
  7. Run the command git commit -m "Added.gitignore file" to commit the changes.

Alternatively, you can also create a .gitignore file using the git init command followed by git add and git commit commands.

Here's an example:

git init
echo "node_modules/" >>.gitignore
echo "*.log" >>.gitignore
echo "*.tmp" >>.gitignore
git add.
git commit -m "Added.gitignore file"

This will create a new .gitignore file with the specified ignore patterns and commit the changes.
