authentic
Configure and optimize .geminiignore files for AI context window efficiency and token cost reduction (FinOps).
When to use
- Use when initializing a new repository or workspace for pair-programming with AI agents.
- Use when the AI context window is reaching its limits or when billing optimization (FinOps) is a priority.
- Use when the AI agent is accidentally reading build outputs, lock files, databases, or binary media.
When not to use
- A `.geminiignore` file only affects AI tools parsing the workspace; it does not replace `.gitignore` for Git repository hosting.
- Patterns must be formatted correctly according to gitignore-style globbing to avoid accidentally ignoring source files.
