From 2a8c72ae2298f52b41215574482544df0a32723d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Mark Eaton Date: Sat, 11 Apr 2026 17:46:00 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] gitignore: protect rough_drafts/*.txt from accidental commits The user's drafts in rough_drafts/ are real in-progress academic work. Project discipline (per memory) is to keep them untracked, but a single accidental `git add -A` could leak unpublished scholarship into git history. Adding the pattern to .gitignore makes the protection structural rather than discipline-based. Scoped to .txt only (the docx->txt converted form the project actually consumes); does not affect sample.md, .gitkeep, or any other extensions that might land in rough_drafts/ later. --- .gitignore | 3 +++ 1 file changed, 3 insertions(+) diff --git a/.gitignore b/.gitignore index 71230a5..65734ba 100644 --- a/.gitignore +++ b/.gitignore @@ -14,3 +14,6 @@ logs/* .env .env.* !.env.example + +# rough drafts: real in-progress academic work, do not commit +rough_drafts/*.txt
