What files and folders to include in .gitignore in Shopify Themes Development

I’m new to Shopify Themes Development. I downloaded the free Shopify theme template using Themekit. I want to push the theme to Github but in VS Code it’s showing that there are 156 files to be pushed on Github.

Folder names are:
assets, config, layout, locals, sections, snippets, templates

File name:
config.yml

That’s obvious, this is not a way.

Can someone please tell me what files and folders i need to write in .gitignore So that those won’t be pushed on Github.

Thanks in Advance!

    ThemeKit will only care about file inside assets, config, layout, locals, sections, snippets, templates folders, anything else will be ignored thus, not uploaded to shopify.

    It is a good practice tho, ignore: config/settings_data.json you only want that to be updated in the theme customiser.

    Shopify has an example .gitignore in their starter theme. I’m not sure why they don’t include settings_data.json but I would definitely include it. Here’s what I’d use:

    # Shopify #
###################
config.yml
config/settings_data.json

# OS generated files #
######################
.DS_Store
.DS_Store?
._*
.Spotlight-V100
.Trashes
ehthumbs.db
Thumbs.db
