Research direction

Start with the .gitignore configuration and the Dialog harness example at material.angular.dev/components/dialog/examples#dialog-harness. Add the example's dist folder to the appropriate ignore entry, then verify that compiling and running the forked example no longer leaves dist files to save or commit.

Documentation Feedback

Can't fork or save forked harness example once it compiles and runs. I can't save it because it gets too big.
Adding the dist folder to .gitignore does fix the problem.
