Add .gitignore contents to Gradle file ignores

settings.gradle.kts

// Add this to your settings.gradle.kts
// It should likely go after the plugin settings block, which is said to have to be first thing, and before any of your
// includes.
// NOTE: By default, gradle ignores .gitignore. If you plan on using this for zipping or such, you probably want to do
// org.apache.tools.ant.DirectoryScanner.removeDefaultExclude("**/.gitignore")
// too to get the .gitignore in.
