Ignore files can be placed locally as `.ignore` or put in your home directory as `~/.ignore`. They support the usual ignore and negative ignore (unignore) rules used in `.gitignore` files.

Additionally, you can use Helix-specific ignore files by creating a local `.helix/ignore` file in the current workspace or a global `ignore` file located in your Helix config directory:

!.gitignore
!.gitattributes
