i should do a push of my small project in django/redis and python on github but i noticed that after creating some users and doing the push, they are also saved on github. Reading on the internet I should create a gitignore file but I don't know what to write in it. I should obviously save the migrations but not the data that has been entered in the database. i found a file on gitignore.io but i am not sure if everything in it fits my case. do you have any tips or sites where i can check this?
This is how I have written .gitignore for one of my project built on Django and using Redis server for cache management. I hope it could help you to get idea of what you might need to add.
