title: How to hide .gitignore file itself
body: <p>I'm new to git. I can hide several files or folders by adding their names or extensions onto the .gitignore file. </p>
  
  <p>However, other people might see what files/folders I have ignored. I don't know is there a way or setting to make "only you can see the .gitignore file" on Github without making the repository private. </p>
  
  <p>Is there any way to hide .gitignore file from other people but myself (or repo collaborator) ? </p>
