Key Pattern Breakdown

Build Outputs & Compiled Artifacts

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

bin/.externalToolBuilders/.buildpath.target

Execution Caches & Runtime Logs

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

tmp/*.tmp.cache-main

Operating System & Workspace Files

Editor-specific workspace configuration and OS filesystem metadata generated automatically by host operating systems.

*.swp
