default .gitignore file content wrong.

I think it is because engine source code also has the folder named native, and the generated folder also has a native folder.

Okay.

In my case, my engine plugin will have the native directory because the installed npm package has a directory with that name, but the engine plugin will have to add node_modules to Git if it's going to work properly because of this unresolved issue: #16896

Then, the project directory also has a directory with this name:

• assets
  • login-sdk
    • native
    • browser
    • minigame

May be you should ask the plugin user to remove it. As most developers will not modify engine codes, so i think it is reasonable to keep it.

What? no!

The engine code has not been modified!

• extensions
  • plugin-a
    • node_modules
      • fs
        • dist
          • impls
            • native
              • index.js
            • web
            • other

Here I assume that the engine plug-in depends on a cross-platform file system implementation module.
Because of the gitignore file, users cannot simply put plugins into version management.

This situation is not uncommon!

In my project, the .gitignore is

#///////////////////////////
# Cocos Creator 3D Project
#///////////////////////////

/library/
/temp/
/local/
/build/
/profiles/
/native/engine/android/**/*/assets

It is different from you.

I tried creating a new project using 3.8.3 and the .gitignore is:

#///////////////////////////
# Cocos Creator 3D Project
#///////////////////////////
library/
temp/
local/
build/
profiles/
native
#//////////////////////////
# NPM
#//////////////////////////
node_modules/

#//////////////////////////
# VSCode
#//////////////////////////
.vscode/

#//////////////////////////
# WebStorm
#//////////////////////////
.idea/

The same problem just occurred in the my team. I added the l10n plug-in to the project and submitted it to git. An error occurred after the team member pulled it.

because gitignore ignores node_modules, but the current plug-in system cannot automatically install plugin's dependencies.

I think the default gitignore file needs to be completely improved, and try to only ignore directories that Creator must ignore, rather than hitting it on a large scale.

In addition, Some settings of Creator itself are also ignored. things like build settings should be synchronized by default.
