# Appendix - .gitignore file example

Below is an example of a very simple .gitignore file.

```bash
# ignore ALL .log files
*.log

# ignore ALL files in ANY directory named temp
temp/

# ignore files that are named example.py
example.py
```

Name the file `.gitignore` and save it at the root of the project (where the `.git` folder is located).
