The above .gitignore file covers both React (TypeScript) and ASP.NET Core (Visual Studio):

This setup ensures:

• node_modules/ and dist/ are ignored for the React frontend.
• bin/ and obj/ folders are ignored for ASP.NET Core.
• Secret config files like appsettings.Development.json are ignored.
• IDE/editor-specific files (VS Code, JetBrains, etc.) are ignored.
• EF Core migration files and test result files are ignored.

YAY! 🚀
