Description

Hello together,

As I program a bit, the project folders are part of the folders that are synchronized by nextcloud. In many cases, the projects themselves are managed by git.

Every git repository has a .gitignore that contains data and folders that are generated during compilation, and should not be synchroized. The .gitignore-Files contain sometimes many entries.

My suggestion is for the desktop client: A setting that can be switched on or off that finds the .gitignore files and copy their entries into the nextcloud ignore list so that the client doesn't go mad when developing.

Especially Rust generates much data inside their target Folders.

Best and thank you for the software!

Simon
