I have a Repository on git with 2 folders.

One is ASP .NET Core Webapi, second is an React app. In main folder, i set .gitignore file genereted by Visual Studio 2017 by Git Settings but it dont work properly.

When i add migration into my database, i get a lot of not necesery changes:

First, git can only ignore untracked files.

where add gitignore file to make it work properly?

You can have different locations for such file(s), under your home directory (i.e. $HOME/.config/git/ignore), $GIT_DIR/info/exclude, $GIT_DIR/.gitignore and $GIT_DIR/**/.gitignore (see git help ignore what is supported in your version of git).

Adding a pattern to the ignore file under your home directory will apply to all local git repositories.

$GIT_DIR/info/exclude only applies to the local repo, cannot be shared with your teammates.

$GIT_DIR/.gitignore and $GIT_DIR/**/.gitignore can be tracked by git and can be shared with your teammates.

A pattern like *.txt will exclude any txt-file in the same directory and any subdirectories as .gitignore. A pattern like /*.txt will exclude any txt-file in the same directory as .gitignore.

A pattern like !a*.txt will include files matching this expression (even if it may have been excluded by some other ignore file).

You can use git check-ignore -v <pathname> to check what ignore expression is including/excluding a file or directory.
