.gitignore for class-6-cybersecurity-social-engineering-building-apis This .gitignore is designed for a Python + Flask + Jupyter project. It keeps only source code, README, notebooks, and the Farmacia.xlsx file in the repository. It ignores automatically generated files, local virtual environments, IDE settings, logs, caches, and secret environment files, keeping the repository clean, portable, and secure. Python bytecode and cache: These files are created automatically by Python to speed up imports. They should never be committed because they are generated again on any machine. pycache /

'instance/' is where Flask apps often store local configs, sqlite dbs, etc. '.webassets-cache/' is created by some extensions to cache compiled assets. instance/

Environment variables / secrets: .env files commonly store API keys, passwords, tokens, and config. They must stay local and out of version control. .env

Thumbs.db
If you create small local DBs for testing (SQLite), usually they should not be versioned. If one DB is part of the teaching material, add it explicitly by name instead of '*.db'. *.sqlite3
