# TEMPLATE CUSTOMIZATION & BEST PRACTICES
# ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
# 1. REVIEW: Examine all patterns before use
# 2. CUSTOMIZE: Adapt to your project's specific structure
# 3. TEST: Use `git check-ignore` to verify patterns work correctly
# 4. SECURE: Always protect sensitive data and credentials
# 5. UPDATE: Review periodically as technology evolves

# Combine with language or framework templates as needed:

# EXAMPLE COMBINATION WITH GIT PATTERNS:
# cat languages/python.gitignore \
#     common/security.gitignore \
#     common/git.gitignore \
#     common/cache.gitignore > .gitignore
