Key Pattern Breakdown

Build Outputs & Compiled Artifacts

Generated binary files, compilation targets, and distribution bundles that can be reliably reproduced from source.

*.binlog

Environment Secrets & Local Overrides

Local environment configurations, secrets, and credentials intended to protect developer-specific settings from exposure.

.env

Execution Caches & Runtime Logs

Diagnostic logs, runtime metadata, test coverage reports, and incremental compiler caches that cause noisy repository diffs.
