Ignore Files

[millerfrankmc]

Is it possible to make it ignore some sensitive files? Similar to .gitignore for Git. I've searched for information without success. Even IDEs like Cline handle .clineignore.

The truth is that I have never read about such a feature in Qwen Code. However, I am going to give you a very practical tip that will help you.

In my case, before I start working on projects with sensitive files, I put them all in a folder. Then I ask the model to analyze all the content in this project, except for “folder-name.”

This simple instruction is something I have used on more than one occasion, and it has worked well for me. So I usually use it when I am resuming an old project, I read the documentation, and then I have Qwen analyze the content of the project to compare it with the documentation. This is in order to determine whether the documentation is up-to-date or not.

Of course, here is a very important clarification. When I talk about sensitive data, I am referring to personal data that I do not want the model to track. However, if you are working with sensitive data in a business environment, it is best to place that data outside the folder while you work and then reinsert it into the project.

I hope this helps solve your problem.
