This week's tip of the week is coming from my old coworker @citizen428. On one my streams on livecoding.ca, I show you how you can add a gitignore file to a project via npx gitignore.
Little did I know this is baked into VS Code!
Press CTRL + Shift + P (CMD + Shift + P on macOS) to open the command palette.
Type in Add gitignore in the command palette.
You'll be presented with a language to generate the gitignore file for.
And there you go! You have a fresh gitgnore file in your repository now!
Happy VS Coding!

Nice I always google for this, constantly forget it is there!
I'm usually going to gitignore.io but that's a really great alternative!
You need to have the gitignore VS Code extension installed before you can type
Add gitignorein the command palette.
