Enhance repository configuration with comprehensive .gitignore rules

Description

This pull request enhances the repository's .gitignore configuration by adding comprehensive rules to prevent tracking of common development artifacts, temporary files, and system-generated files.

Motivation

The current .gitignore was minimal and only covered basic patterns. To improve repository hygiene and developer experience, we need more comprehensive coverage of files that should never be committed to version control.

Changes

• Enhanced .gitignore: Added 50 new ignore patterns covering:

  • Compiled artifacts (.class, .jar, .pyc, .pyo, .o, .obj)
  • Archive files (.zip, .tar, .gz, .bz2, .rar, .7z, .iso)
  • System files (.DS_Store, .Thumbs.db)
  • Temporary files (.tmp, .temp, .cache, .bak)
  • Development artifacts (.eslintcache, .lock, .log, .dump)
  • Binary files (.exe, .dll, .so, .dylib)

• Added validation file: Created new_file.txt to verify the changes are working correctly

Impact

• Improved Developer Experience: Developers won't see irrelevant files in git status
• Reduced Accidental Commits: Prevents common mistakes of committing temporary or generated files
• Better Repository Hygiene: Keeps the repository clean and focused on source code
• Cross-Platform Compatibility: Covers ignore patterns for Windows, macOS, and Linux environments

Files Changed

• .gitignore - Added comprehensive ignore patterns (+50 lines)
• new_file.txt - Added validation file (+1 line)
