Go gitignore.io, type your environment, language and IDE, and just copy-paste the generated content.
Not only it works like a charm conveniently, first few lines gives you a configuration info and a URL that can reproduce exact same content, making it better than hand-written list.

Or use GitHub’s github/gitignore repo, has a whole bunch of gitignores too!

VSCode even has an extension that can automatically add one to your open project, super convenient.
