Thanks!

Thanks a lot!

Thank you, I added some entries

*.aux
*.glo
*.idx
*.log
*.toc
*.ist
*.acn
*.acr
*.alg
*.bbl
*.blg
*.dvi
*.glg
*.gls
*.ilg
*.ind
*.lof
*.lot
*.maf
.mtc
*.out
*.bak
*.run.xml
*blx.bib
*.synctex.gz

How nice! Thank you very much!

Thanks! This was a good thing to share.

Why not just ignore everything first and whitelist directories, *.bib, and *.tex files?

Sounds good 👍

TexStudio has the following extensions list in tools -> clean
log,aux,dvi,lof,lot,bit,idx,glo,bbl,bcf,ilg,toc,ind,out,blg,fdb_latexmk,fls

.bcf
.blg
.sav

For merging artifacts you can also add
.mine
.bak
.r2
.r4

Maybe also .out.ps?

For those who use JetBrains and TeXiFy-IDEA plugin.
Create MyLatexProject/.gitignore and copy/paste this content instead:
/out/.aux
/out/.glo
/out/.idx
/out/.log
/out/.toc
/out/.ist
/out/.acn
/out/.acr
/out/.alg
/out/.bbl
/out/.blg
/out/.dvi
/out/.glg
/out/.gls
/out/.ilg
/out/.ind
/out/.lof
/out/.lot
/out/.maf
/out/.mtc
/out/.mtc1
/out/.out
/out/*.synctex.gz

¡great! Very useful.

¿someone have them classified by use or tool that generates those files?

Thanks in advance.

Can you add *.brf (for backreferences)?

I’ve added most suffixes suggested here to the list and sorted it alphabetical.

for users of VSCode's LateX Workshop plugin with biblatex, it could be useful to add the following:

*.bbl*
*.bcf*
