# Task 0.1.3: Add Gitignore

## Metadata
- **Task ID**: 0.1.3
- **Title**: Add Gitignore
- **Phase**: 0 - Project Setup & Foundation
- **Section**: 0.1 Repository Bootstrap
- **Status**: Pending
- **Priority**: Medium
- **Estimated Time**: 5 minutes
- **Dependencies**: 0.1.1

## Description
Create a comprehensive `.gitignore` file for Go projects that excludes build artifacts, dependencies, IDE files, and sensitive data.

## Requirements
- Ignore Go build artifacts
- Ignore dependency caches
- Ignore IDE-specific files
- Ignore environment-specific files
- Ignore secrets and sensitive data

## Implementation Steps
1. Create `.gitignore` in project root
2. Add standard Go ignores:
   - `*.exe`, `*.exe~`, `*.dll`, `*.so`, `*.dylib`
   - `*.test`, `*.out`
   - `go.work`, `go.work.sum`
3. Add IDE ignores:
   - `.vscode/`, `.idea/`, `*.swp`, `*.swo`
4. Add environment ignores:
   - `.env`, `.env.local`, `config/secrets/`
5. Add OS ignores:
   - `.DS_Store`, `Thumbs.db`
6. Add build artifacts:
   - `bin/`, `dist/`, `tmp/`

## Acceptance Criteria
- [ ] `.gitignore` file exists
- [ ] Common Go artifacts are ignored
- [ ] IDE files are ignored
- [ ] Sensitive files are ignored
- [ ] Test with `git status` to verify

## Implementation Notes
- Use standard Go `.gitignore` templates
- Ensure `config/secrets/` is ignored (for secret files)
- Consider adding `*.log` for log files

## Testing
```bash
# Verify gitignore works
git status
# Should not show build artifacts or IDE files
```
