Git Ignore6:36
In this section, we will learn about the .gitignore file, an essential part of every Git-based project.
Not all files in a project should be stored or tracked in Git.
For example, Java Maven projects automatically generate build folders, log files, and IDE configuration files — these are not part of the source code and should not be committed.
We will explore:
What .gitignore is and why it is needed
Which files should be ignored in Java + Spring Boot + Maven projects
How to create and edit a .gitignore file
How IntelliJ IDEA automatically supports and highlights ignored files
How to verify .gitignore behavior using Git Bash
By the end of this section, you’ll know how to:
Keep your repository clean and professional
Avoid committing unnecessary build or system files
Ensure teammates get only the required project source code
This makes collaboration smoother and prevents problems when others clone your project.

Git Visualization in IntelliJ3:32
In this section, you’ll learn how to visually understand your Git workflow inside IntelliJ IDEA.
We’ll explore how IntelliJ shows commits, branches, and merges using a color-coded graph, making it easier to track your project’s history.
You’ll understand:
How IntelliJ represents branches using different colors.
What each colored node and line means in the commit history.
How to read and analyze merges, commits, and branch flows visually.
How to use the Git log window to navigate your project’s development timeline.
By the end of this section, you’ll be able to confidently interpret Git graphs and manage your branches more efficiently — just like a pro developer!
