Ignore & Attributes

.gitignore

Gitkit generates and merges .gitignore files from gitignore.io templates plus its own built-ins (like agentic for AI coding agents):

gitkit ignore add rust,vscode,agentic   # generate/merge templates
gitkit ignore list                      # list available templates
gitkit ignore list python               # filter the list

Existing patterns are merged, not overwritten — your manual entries survive.

The agentic template is derived from canopy’s platform registry (https://github.com/UniverLab/canopy-registry): gitkit fetches it with a 24-hour cache in ~/.gitkit/agent-registry.toml and falls back to a snapshot embedded at build time when offline. Every harness directory is ignored, but instruction files (AGENTS.md, .cursor/rules/, …) stay committable and .github/ is never ignored.

.gitattributes

gitkit attributes init

Applies a line-endings preset (* text=auto eol=lf) and binary-file attributes so checkouts behave identically across Linux, macOS and Windows.

Both files can also be configured interactively from the gitkit wizard, which offers a filterable search across all templates.
