title: gitignore - inclusive or exclusive?

How do you write your .gitignore files?

Add everything and ignore what you don't want, or ignore everything and explicitly add what you need.
There are two ways to structure a .gitignore file.
The default approach is that all files can be added, and you specify the files and directories you want to ignore.
For example, if my `.gitignore` file was this, these two directories would be ignored:
```language-plain
vendor
web
```
The other approach is to ignore everything and unignore the things to add. For example:
```language-plain
*
!build.yaml
!Dockerfile
!docker-compose.yaml
!web/*/custom
```
Both approaches work and are regularly used.
Which approach do you prefer and why?
