Ignore Files

To ignore files to be included in Cursor features such as codebase indexing, you can use a .cursorignore file in the root of your project. It works the same way as .gitignore works for git.

.cursorignore respects .gitignore. If you already have .gitignore, the files will be ignored by default. If you want to ignore additional files, you can add them to the .cursorignore file.

​

An Example .cursorignore file

# Ignore all files in the `dist` directory
dist/

# Ignore all `.log` files
*.log

# Ignore specific file `config.json`
config.json
