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!
