Summary of Changes

Hello @AustinBenoit, I'm Gemini Code Assist¹! I'm currently reviewing this pull request and will post my feedback shortly. In the meantime, here's a summary to help you and other reviewers quickly get up to speed!

This pull request addresses a common issue where LSP-generated cache files, specifically those matching the .cache/* pattern, are inadvertently included in version control. By updating the .gitignore file, these temporary and often user-specific files will now be ignored, ensuring a cleaner repository and preventing unnecessary commits.

Highlights

• Gitignore Update: Added .cache/* to the .gitignore file to prevent Language Server Protocol (LSP) generated cache files from being committed to the repository.

🧠 New Feature in Public Preview: You can now enable Memory to help Gemini Code Assist learn from your team's feedback. This makes future code reviews more consistent and personalized to your project's style. Click here to enable Memory in your admin console.

Changelog

• .gitignore
  • Added .cache/* to ignore LSP-generated cache files.

Code Review

This pull request adds an entry to .gitignore to ignore LSP-generated .cache files. The current pattern .cache/* is not sufficient to ignore all contents of the cache directory, as it doesn't apply to nested files and directories. I've suggested using .cache/ instead, which is a more robust pattern for ignoring a directory and all of its contents.
