Files

There are four file types that gitignore.io recognizes

Templates

A .gitignore file is the foundation of all templates. Each .gitignore file contains gitignore information related to the title of the file. For example, Go.gitignore contains a gitignore template that is used when creating a project using the Go programming language.
Patch

A .patch is a file to extend the functionality of a template. The source for some of the template files on toptal/gitignore come from github/gitignore. GitHub maintains strict contributing guidelines and the .patch file allows anyone to extend any of the templates to add extra template rules
Stack

A .stack is a file that allows for the creation of code stacks (LAMP, MEAN, React Native). In today's development environment a .gitignore file is usually comprised of multiple technologies. A stack creates an elegant way to keep the stack up to date with child dependencies.
Order

The order file simply ensure that if certain templates are requested, the order in which the templates are loaded is maintained.
