# ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
# • TEMPLATE TYPE: LANGUAGE-SPECIFIC TEMPLATE
# • PURPOSE: Lua development patterns for compiled bytecode, module cache, and runtime artifacts
# • DESIGN PHILOSOPHY: Modular design for combination with common templates
# • COMBINATION GUIDANCE: Combine with common templates for comprehensive coverage
# • SECURITY CONSIDERATIONS: Does not include security patterns - combine with common/security.gitignore
# • BEST PRACTICES: Combine with common/security.gitignore for protection, test with your specific build tools, review for project-specific exclusions
# • OFFICIAL SOURCES: Lua Official language documentation, package manager guides, and community best practices

# 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
# For comprehensive coverage, consider combining with:
# - Framework template if applicable (frameworks/*.gitignore)
# - Common security patterns (common/security.gitignore) - CRITICAL for protecting sensitive data
# - Common cache patterns (common/cache.gitignore)
# - Common build patterns (common/build.gitignore)
# - Common logs patterns (common/logs.gitignore)
# - IDE template for your editor (ides/*.gitignore)
# - OS template for your system (os/*.gitignore)
# EXAMPLE COMBINATION FOR Lua:
# cat languages/lua.gitignore \
# common/security.gitignore \
# common/cache.gitignore \
# common/build.gitignore \
# common/logs.gitignore \
# ides/visual-studio-code.gitignore \
# os/macos.gitignore \
# os/windows.gitignore > .gitignore
