This is great, thanks.

Thanks... very good!

I might consider adding '*.brf'.

I usually add *.tex~ and *.tex.backup.

Thanks !

I needed to also add:

    *.nav
    *.snm
    *.vrb

I add:

*.ps

I added

*.log
*.pdf

Excellent! Thank you very much for sharing.

*.brf
*.bst
*.nls
*.nlo

Thanks you so much. 💯 👍

*.thm

Thanks!

Thanks a lot!

Thank you, I added some entries

*.aux
*.glo
*.idx
*.log
*.toc
*.ist
*.acn
*.acr
*.alg
*.bbl
*.blg
*.dvi
*.glg
*.gls
*.ilg
*.ind
*.lof
*.lot
*.maf
.mtc
*.out
*.bak
*.run.xml
*blx.bib
*.synctex.gz

How nice! Thank you very much!

Thanks! This was a good thing to share.

Why not just ignore everything first and whitelist directories, *.bib, and *.tex files?

Sounds good 👍

TexStudio has the following extensions list in tools -> clean
log,aux,dvi,lof,lot,bit,idx,glo,bbl,bcf,ilg,toc,ind,out,blg,fdb_latexmk,fls

.bcf
.blg
.sav

For merging artifacts you can also add
.mine
.bak
.r2
.r4

Maybe also .out.ps?

For those who use JetBrains and TeXiFy-IDEA plugin.
Create MyLatexProject/.gitignore and copy/paste this content instead:
/out/.aux
/out/.glo
/out/.idx
/out/.log
/out/.toc
/out/.ist
/out/.acn
/out/.acr
/out/.alg
/out/.bbl
/out/.blg
/out/.dvi
/out/.glg
/out/.gls
/out/.ilg
/out/.ind
/out/.lof
/out/.lot
/out/.maf
/out/.mtc
/out/.mtc1
/out/.out
/out/*.synctex.gz

¡great! Very useful.

¿someone have them classified by use or tool that generates those files?

Thanks in advance.

Can you add *.brf (for backreferences)?

I’ve added most suffixes suggested here to the list and sorted it alphabetical.
