To add specific files to your .gitignore file, you can simply open the .gitignore file in your repository and add the filenames or patterns of the files you want to ignore.


For example, if you want to ignore a file named "example.txt", you can add the following line to your .gitignore file:

1
example.txt


If you want to ignore all files with a specific extension, such as .log files, you can add the following line to your .gitignore file:

1
*.log


After making these changes, make sure to commit and push your .gitignore file to your repository so that Git will start ignoring the specified files.
