Eu estou olhando para criar um.gitignore arquivo para que certos arquivos não sejam verificados no repositório. Alguém tem um guia sobre como e onde colocar esse arquivo? Eu tentei colocá-lo no meu diretório de trabalho, executei o status git e ele ainda está pegando os arquivos que eu gostaria que ele ignorasse.

Eu usei isso.gitignore arquivo que encontrei:
