The .gitignore file contains the files and directories that git should ignore when checking in. This is useful for your development directory so config files don't get included in the repository.

The following files should be included in the .gitignore file

```
site/.htaccess
site/ciniki-sync.php
site/ciniki-rest.php
site/ciniki-json.php
site/ciniki-manage.php
site/ciniki-login.php
site/paypal-ipn.php
site/ciniki-apis.php
site/ciniki-api.ini
site/ciniki-manage.ini
site/phpinfo.php
site/index.php
site/ciniki-code
site/ciniki-cache
site/ciniki-backups
logs/
/ssl
```

Add .gitignore to git:
```
git add .gitignore
```
