.CURSORIGNOREDependency Upgrades & Migrations .cursorignore Shield
Generate an optimized .cursorignore for Dependency Upgrades & Migrations to mask secrets and stop token bloat. This .cursorignore keeps Dependency Upgrades & Migrations build output, large data files and environment secrets out of Cursor's index and AI features, so context goes to your source code. It is best effort: commands the agent runs in the terminal can still read ignored files, so keep real secrets out of the repo too.

How to Install Dependency Upgrades & Migrations .cursorignore Shield via Terminal
Step 1: Open Project Directory & Verify Target Placement
Open your terminal and navigate to your project root folder where the .cursorignore file will reside. Ensure the file is placed at the exact path below relative to your project root so the AI engine automatically loads it:
Step 2: Fetch Rule File via Terminal Command
Run curl, PowerShell, or wget to stream the rule directly from the DevScratchpad raw API endpoint and write it to .cursorignore:
Terminal One-Liner Install
Run directly in your project root to stream and write this rule file with one command.
curl -fsSL "https://www.devscratchpad.tech/api/raw/cursorignore/dependency-upgrade" -o ".cursorignore"Step 3: Check that Cursor uses it
Cursor applies .cursorignore automatically. Matching files leave the index and AI features, but commands the agent runs in the terminal can still read them.
.cursorignore generator: keep secrets and build output away from Cursor
.cursorignore Shield: how it works, where the file goes, and every .cursorignore preset.

Technical FAQ: Dependency Upgrades & Migrations AI Rulebooks
How is .cursorignore different from .gitignore?
.gitignore decides what git tracks. .cursorignore keeps files out of Cursor's codebase index and AI features; Cursor already skips files in .gitignore when it indexes.
Does .cursorignore reduce wasted context?
Yes. Ignored files are not indexed or pulled into requests, so build output and large data files do not crowd out your source code.
