### Custom Ignore Patterns

By default, GitNexus excludes common non-source files (dependencies, build outputs, binaries, etc.). To exclude additional paths, create a `.gitnexusignore` file at your repo root using standard [gitignore syntax](https://git-scm.com/docs/gitignore):

```gitignore
# Vendored frontend bundles
vendor/assets/js/

# Generated protocol buffers
src/generated/

# Specific large file
data/fixtures/seed.sql
```

The file is applied on top of the built-in defaults — you don't need to re-specify things like `node_modules` or `dist`. If no `.gitnexusignore` exists, behavior is unchanged. Re-run `gitnexus analyze --force` after creating or updating the file.
