Anything related to Git in your newly created repository will be stored in the .git directory, except the .gitignore file.

In this file you can list any file or folder you don’t want to commit to Git.

Its content depends on the kind of project. In a JavaScript project, it’s common to have this list in .gitignore:

# build output
dist/

# dependencies
node_modules/

# logs
npm-debug.log*
yarn-debug.log*
yarn-error.log*
pnpm-debug.log*

# environment variables
.env
.env.production

# macOS-specific files
.DS_Store
