What files and folders to include in .gitignore in Shopify Themes Development

I'm new to Shopify Themes Development. I downloaded the free Shopify theme template using Themekit. I want to push the theme to Github but in VS Code it's showing that there are 156 files to be pushed on Github.

Folder names are: assets, config, layout, locals, sections, snippets, templates

File name: config.yml

That's obvious, this is not a way.

Can someone please tell me what files and folders i need to write in .gitignore So that those won't be pushed on Github.

Thanks in Advance!

  • Shopify has an example .gitignore in their starter theme. I'm not sure why they don't include settings_data.json but I would definitely include it. Here's what I'd use:

    # Shopify #
###################
config.yml
config/settings_data.json

# OS generated files #
######################
.DS_Store
.DS_Store?
._*
.Spotlight-V100
.Trashes
ehthumbs.db
Thumbs.db
