Protect Sensitive Files

Sometimes we don’t want AI to be able to see certain files or directories that contain API keys or other sensitive information. This is where the file protection feature of Clean Coder becomes handy.

How to use

1. Locate the .coderignore file in the .clean_coder directory (created after the first launch of the application).
2. Add files and folders you want to protect using the .gitignore format. By default, the .env file and .clean_coder folder are already protected.

Example

Your .coderignore file might look like this:

# Default protected files
.env
.clean_coder/

# Additional sensitive files or directories
secrets/
config.json
api_keys.txt

Once configured, Clean Coder agents will not be able to access or view the specified files and folders, even if they attempt to do so.
