## About the Gitignore API
## About gitignore
When you create a new repository on {% ifversion ghae %}{% data variables.product.product_name %}{% else %}{% data variables.location.product_location %}{% endif %} via the API, you can specify a [.gitignore template](/github/getting-started-with-github/ignoring-files) to apply to the repository upon creation. The .gitignore templates API lists and fetches templates from the {% data variables.product.product_name %} [.gitignore repository](https://github.com/github/gitignore).
