.gitignore
This file is only relevant if you are using git.
It informs git of any files that you don't want pushed to the remote server.
Files which match the splat patterns seen in the code below will be ignored by git. This keeps random crap and and sensitive credentials from being uploaded to your repository. It allows you to configure your app for your machine without accidentally committing settings which will smash the local settings of other developers on your team.
Some reasonable defaults are included, but, of course, you should modify/extend/prune to fit your needs!

Anatomy of a Sails App
Built with Love
The Sails framework is built by a web & mobile shop in Austin, TX, with the help of our contributors. We created Sails in 2012 to assist us on Node.js projects. Naturally we open-sourced it. We hope it makes your life a little bit easier!
