How to add folder and subfolder to gitignore?

To add a folder and its subfolders to the .gitignore file in a Git repository, you can use the following steps:

1. Open the .gitignore file in the root directory of your Git repository with a text editor.
2. To ignore a specific folder and all its contents, simply add the folder name to the .gitignore file. For example, if you want to ignore a folder named "logs", add the following line to the .gitignore file: logs/
3. To ignore a specific folder and all its subfolders, you can use a wildcard character "*. For example, if you want to ignore all folders named "logs" at any level within the directory structure, add the following line to the .gitignore file: logs/**
4. Save the changes to the .gitignore file and commit them to your Git repository. The specified folder and its subfolders will now be ignored by Git.

Remember that changes to the .gitignore file will only affect files and folders that have not been previously tracked by Git. If a file or folder is already being tracked by Git, you will need to remove it from the repository to stop tracking it.
