For Enterprise\nusers, this also includes code customization.\n\nIn many scenarios, you'll have specific files or subtrees that you don't want\nto have included in your context.\n\nYou can exclude these files through the use of an `.aiexclude` or `.gitignore`\nfile.\n| **Note:** For [code customization](/gemini-code-assist/docs/code-customization-overview) only the `.aiexclude` file is used.\n\nConfigure context exclusion settings\n\nThis section shows you how to configure settings for `.aiexclude` and\n`.gitignore` files.\n\nChange .aiexclude file to your preferred file\n\nBy default, context exclusion is set to use `.aiexclude`. To change this setting\nin your IDE, follow these steps: \n\nVS Code\n\n1. In the activity bar, click\n settings **Manage** \\\u003e\n **Settings**.\n\n2. In the **Settings** window, navigate to **Extensions** \\\u003e\n **Gemini Code Assist** . Scroll until you find **Context Exclusion File**.\n\n3. In the text field, change `.aiexclude` to your preferred location.\n\nYour preferred file is now set as the context exclusion file.\n\nIntelliJ\n\nConfiguring settings for `.aiexclude` and `.gitignore` files isn't\nsupported in JetBrains IDEs.\n\nChange .gitignore context exclusion\n\nBy default, the `.gitignore` file is enabled for context exclusion. The file\nmust be located in the root working folder for\nGemini Code Assist. `.gitignore` files located in subdirectories\nwon't be considered or merged.\n\nTo disable `.gitignore` files from context exclusion, follow these steps:\n\n1. In the activity bar, click\n settings **Manage** \\\u003e\n **Settings**.\n\n2. In the **Settings** window, navigate to **Extensions** \\\u003e\n **Gemini Code Assist** . Scroll until you find **Context Exclusion Gitignore**.\n\n3. Unselect the checkbox.\n\n `.gitignore` files are now disabled for specifying file Gemini Code Assist to ignore.\n\nWrite an `.aiexclude` file **Note:** In the event that a conflict exists between `.aiexclude` and `.gitignore`, the `.aiexclude` directive preempts `.gitignore` directives.\n\nAn `.aiexclude` file follows the same syntax as a `.gitignore` file.\n\nExamples\n\nThe following examples demonstrate how you can configure an `.aiexclude` file:\n\n- Block all files named `apikeys.txt` at or below the directory that contains\n the `.aiexclude` file:\n\n apikeys.txt\n\n- Block all files with the `.key` file extension at or below the directory that\n contains the `.aiexclude` file:\n\n *.key\n\n- Block only the `apikeys.txt`file at the same directory as the `.aiexclude`\n file, but not any subdirectories:\n\n /apikeys.txt\n\n- Block all files in the directory `my/sensitive/dir` and all subdirectories.\n The path should be relative to the directory that contains the `.aiexclude`\n file.\n\n my/sensitive/dir/\n\n- Blocks all the files in directory `foo` and its subdirectories except file\n named `bar.txt` in the foo directory.\n\n foo/*\n !foo/bar.txt\n\nControl access to index for code customization\n\nBy default, code customization indexes all the\n\n[supported code files](/gemini-code-assist/docs/code-customization-overview#limitations)\nin your specified repositories.\n\nTo prevent exposure of code that you don't want to be used in the context, you\ncan use branch patterns to\n\n[control access to your index](/gemini-code-assist/docs/code-customization#control_access_to_your_index_using_repository_groups)\nand use a stable branch, such as `main`.\n\nAlternatively, you can also exclude files from the context by\n[creating an `.aiexclude` file](#write_an_aiexclude_file)."]]
