 ===== .gitignore =====
+The ''.gitignore'' file is used to tell Git to ignore (i.e., not track) certain files. The leading dot is important. The leading dot also tells macOS and Linux systems that it is a hidden file. To show hidden files in macOS's Finder, use ''Command'' + ''Shift'' + ''.'' In Linux, it depends on the file manager you are using. However, ''Ctrl'' + ''H'' is a common shortcut for this.
 To make Git ignore a specific file:
 <file text .gitignore>
