Purpose of Branches
The .gitignore file is a crucial component in any Git repository. It instructs Git to ignore specific files or directories that should not be tracked or maintained in the version control system. This is particularly useful for excluding files that contain sensitive information, user-specific configurations, temporary files created by the development environment, or dependencies that can be installed via a package manager.
Version control is a system that tracks changes in documents, enabling easy recovery of older versions and collaboration among users.
