Research direction
Start with the repository's .gitignore and compare its entries with the Firebase, signing, and environment files listed in the issue. Add exclusions for those paths and verify that each listed file is ignored by Git.
Written by the indexing model from the issue text.
Description
Description
The current .gitignore does not protect against accidentally committing sensitive files:
Missing Entries
| File | Risk |
|---|---|
android/app/google-services.json |
Firebase API keys for Android |
ios/Runner/GoogleService-Info.plist |
Firebase API keys for iOS |
android/key.properties |
Android release signing passwords |
*.jks / *.keystore |
Android signing keystores |
.env.local / .env.production |
Production API keys |
Current .gitignore
The current file only has the default Flutter template entries. It ignores .env but not .env.local, .env.production, or any Firebase/signing credential files.
Impact
Any contributor who adds Firebase or configures release signing could accidentally push API keys or signing credentials to the public repo.
Expected Fix
Add security-critical exclusions to .gitignore.
