I’m learning to play git and GitHub these weeks. I came across a certain doubt:
I figured we could put a file .gitignore in our project for it to "ignore" certain files, so it is really necessary to use it? What kind of files I put in it?
I’m also creating an typescript:
Seeing these files, there are some I can ignore before going up on github?

The hidden file .gitignore will allow you to decide which files are in your local repository that you do not want to go up to the remote repository, as the name says they will be ignored even if you make any changes to them.
For example, certain files that are automatically generated by a particular programming language or even files with credentials as an example, this depends on each case of course.
Something interesting with the documents .gitignore is that allows you to use certain tricks. For example, ignoring all files with a certain extension can be done as follows:
You can access this github repository:
https://github.com/github/gitignore
In it are several files . gitignore for various programming languages such as java, javascript, python and others that I believe will help you and personally use and I end up adding other things. I hope I helped you

Good night Kaiky Santos,
The file. gitignore is not required for your application, however it is of great help when you do not intend not to upload a specific file or folder.
Below are some useful links about gitignore and some examples of gitignore for nodejs and typescript.

Well, in gitignore you can add files that won’t be needed in the repository, such as module folder, test files etc. This file basically serves to make your day easier, Voce doesn’t need to send unnecessary files to your repository!
So long, and have a great day!

No need to use. See this. For Nodejs it is convenient to ignore the folder

gitignore is used to prevent you from deleting unnecessary project files. Every programming language has some files that are generated when you compile the project but these files are not useful for those who download and run the project and in these cases are defined files or folders that should be disregarded when you are Versionar something.
