Hi Serena I put the .gitignore file inside my repository folder. My .gitignore file is currently setup to ONLY ALLOW .sql .yaml files. Also it will EXCLUDE the Logs folder inside the repo. I posted what I wrote inside the .gitignore file. Also feel free to test your changes. Try blocking all .txt files and attempt to add using git, if it doesn't track any changes to the text file then you did it correctly. To block all text files simple add .txt to the .gitignore file.
