Summary of Changes

Hello @yibeichan, I'm Gemini Code Assist1! I'm currently reviewing this pull request and will post my feedback shortly. In the meantime, here's a summary to help you and other reviewers quickly get up to speed!

This pull request performs a repository health check by updating the .gitignore file. The primary goal is to enhance repository cleanliness and maintainability by ensuring that local development configurations, temporary build artifacts, and cache files are properly ignored by Git, thus preventing their unintended inclusion in commits.

Highlights

  • .gitignore Updates: New patterns have been added to the .gitignore file to exclude various local configuration files, temporary test outputs, and cache directories from version control.
  • Repository Cleanliness: The changes aim to improve repository health by preventing the accidental inclusion of unnecessary files, contributing to a cleaner and more focused codebase.

Code Review

This pull request cleans up the repository by adding several entries to the .gitignore file. The changes mostly ignore local configuration, test outputs, and cache files, which is good practice. However, I've raised a concern about ignoring a Python script (validate_yaml.py) and a workflow file (test-workflow.yml), as these might be essential for other developers and should potentially be version-controlled. Please review the comment for details.

Ignoring test-workflow.yml and validate_yaml.py can cause issues for other contributors if these files are part of the project's tooling and not generated artifacts.

  • test-workflow.yml: If this is a GitHub Actions workflow, it should be version-controlled (usually in .github/workflows/) to ensure CI/CD pipelines work for everyone.
  • validate_yaml.py: Python scripts that are part of the development toolchain should be committed to the repository. Ignoring this file could lead to a broken development environment for others who need this script for validation tasks.

If these files are not meant to be shared and are generated locally, then this change is correct. Otherwise, they should be removed from .gitignore and committed to the repository.
