Is it possible to ignore a particular executable file using .gitignore?

Suppose I get myProgam executable file on Mac as a result of compiling my code like this:

 gcc -o myProgram myProgram.c

How can induce my .gitignore file to actually ignore the myProgram file? I'm not looking for the solution where I make a separate folder for my executable files.

My question might seem obvious to many but I cannot actually find any solution online although I've searched a few pages and tutorials already as well as the StackOverflow resources.

I'll be grateful for any hints.

Add

myProgram

on a separate line in your .gitignore file
