# 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 OCaml:
# cat languages/ocaml.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
