Security and privacy

Augment stores your code securely and privately to enable our powerful context engine. We ensure code privacy through a proof-of-possession API and maintain strict internal data minimization principles. Read more about our security.

​
What gets indexed

Augment will index all the files in your workspace, except for the files that match patterns in your .gitignore file and the .augmentignore file. Read more about Workspace Context.

​
Ignoring files with .augmentignore

The .augmentignore file is a list of file patterns that Augment will ignore when indexing your workspace. Create an .augmentignore file in the root of your workspace. You can use any glob pattern that is supported by the gitignore file.

​
Including files that are .gitignored

If you have a file or directory in your .gitignore that you want to be indexed, you can add it to your .augmentignore file using the ! prefix. For example, you may want your node_modules indexed to provide Augment with context about the dependencies in their project, but it is typically included in their .gitignore. Add !node_modules to your .augmentignore file. 
# Include .gitignore excluded files with ! prefix
!node_modules

# Exclude other files with .gitignore syntax
