Reasons for making this change
Tauri is a cross-platform desktop application framework (90k+ GitHub stars) that combines a web frontend with a Rust backend. Tauri projects produce platform-specific build artifacts - MSI installers, DMGs, AppImages, deb packages - that should not be committed.
The template covers two Tauri-specific patterns not in the existing Rust.gitignore:
target/- Rust Cargo build cache, present in all Tauri projectsWixTools/- WiX Toolset cache directory created during Windows MSI installer buildsThe header recommends combining with
Rust.gitignorefor generic Rust patterns.Intentionally NOT ignored:
src-tauri/gen/- Contains generated Android Studio and Xcode project files. Tauri's own community discussion confirms these should be committed since they may need customization.Placement:
community/per the repo's README guidelines for specialized framework templates.Links to documentation supporting these rule changes
