How to correctly specify gitignore files?

Im using github desktop. I have a project on git in react native. I want to have my own branch where I can save all my /ios and /android folders and another branch for me and my mate with just app.js ...etc files without ios and android folders. How should I organise my gitignore folders correctly? Is there a rule that masters gitignore should always exist more information than its other branches? I added /ios and /android for masters gitignore, why it keeps deleting them from my pc?

Besides me thinking, that having 2 projects on 2 branches in the same repo is a good idea.

All you need to do is create the .gitignore files for each branch and commit them.

When you switch branches the .gitignore of the respective branch will also be checked out.

If you have files you want to ignore but not add them to .gitignore then add them to .git/info/exclude
