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 Python + Vue together?

Full-stack projects pairing a Python API (Flask, FastAPI, Django) with a Vue.js frontend need to cover both ecosystems. The Python template handles __pycache__, virtual environments, and distribution artifacts. The Vue template handles node_modules, dist/ build output, and .env local overrides.

Note that both templates include .env patterns — they are deduplicated in the generated output so you see them only once.
