Do I need to commit .gitignore?

Yes — .gitignore should be committed to the repository so all collaborators benefit from the same ignore rules.

How do I add custom patterns?

Open your .gitignore file and add the pattern on a new line. Use # for comments, * for wildcards, / to match directories, and ! to un-ignore a previously ignored path.

How do I ignore a file that is already tracked?

Adding a file to .gitignore does not remove it from tracking if it was previously committed. Run: git rm --cached to stop tracking it without deleting the file locally.

Why use Angular + TypeScript together?

Angular is TypeScript-first, so these two templates naturally go together. The Angular template covers the Angular CLI build pipeline (dist/, .angular/ cache, out-tsc/). The TypeScript template adds *.tsbuildinfo incremental build info files.

The .angular/ build cache was introduced in Angular 13. It dramatically speeds up incremental builds but is machine-specific and should always be ignored.
