What do I add in the .gitignore of a console application with kotlin?

I want to upload a console project made in kotlin to my repository on GitHub, but I don't know which files should go in the .gitignore

I searched the internet for files to put, but I have nothing clear

Solution

You can go to gitignore.io from Toptal, where a .gitignore generated for you, based on your input.

If you write Kotlin in the input-field, or some more/others, it will generate a .gitignore with the specific files, which are ignored in this programming language, ide, tool…

By pressing the "Create" button, it create the .gitignore file, as requested.

As example, a .gitignore file with only Kotlin as argument, will look like:

# Created by https://www.toptal.com/developers/gitignore/api/kotlin
# Edit at https://www.toptal.com/developers/gitignore?templates=kotlin

### Kotlin ###
# Compiled class file
*.class

# Log file
*.log

# BlueJ files
*.ctxt

# Mobile Tools for Java (J2ME)
.mtj.tmp/

# Package Files #
*.jar
*.war
*.nar
*.ear
*.zip
*.tar.gz
*.rar
