+# Swagger Codegen Ignore
+# Generated by swagger-codegen https://github.com/swagger-api/swagger-codegen
+
+# Use this file to prevent files from being overwritten by the generator.
+# The patterns follow closely to .gitignore or .dockerignore.
+
+# As an example, the C# client generator defines ApiClient.cs.
+# You can make changes and tell Swagger Codgen to ignore just this file by uncommenting the following line:
+#ApiClient.cs
+
+# You can match any string of characters against a directory, file or extension with a single asterisk (*):
+#foo/*/qux
+# The above matches foo/bar/qux and foo/baz/qux, but not foo/bar/baz/qux
+
+# You can recursively match patterns against a directory, file or extension with a double asterisk (**):
+#foo/**/qux
+# This matches foo/bar/qux, foo/baz/qux, and foo/bar/baz/qux
+
+# You can also negate patterns with an exclamation (!).
+# For example, you can ignore all files in a docs folder with the file extension .md:
+#docs/*.md
+# Then explicitly reverse the ignore rule for a single file:
+#!docs/README.md
