Reasons for making this change
The existing C++
.gitignoretemplate does not fully cover common build artifacts generated by modern C++ toolchains and build systems.This change improves developer experience and prevents committing temporary or environment-specific files by adding:
*.ilk,*.pdb,*.dwo)CMakeFiles/,CMakeCache.txt, etc.)build/,build-*/)vcpkg_installed/)*.tmp,*.log,.cache/, etc.)These updates make the template more robust across platforms (Windows, Linux, macOS) while keeping it general-purpose.
