# Core Settings

The settings below allow you to add more rules on top of this essential base configuration.<br>

* Visual Studio / Rider: Adds ignore rules for files generated by Visual Studio and JetBrains Rider. This includes solution files (.sln), project files (.csproj), and user-specific settings (.vs/, .idea/). This is essential for preventing conflicts.
* Visual Studio Code: Ignores the .vscode/ folder, which stores your personal workspace settings and task configurations.
* macOS / Windows rules: Ignores system junk files like .DS\_Store (macOS) and Thumbs.db (Windows). This keeps your repository clean.
