Conversation
Adds the org-wide baseline blocking kubeconfigs, private keys and keystores, Terraform state, .env files, cloud CLI credential caches, vendored dependencies and OS noise. Coverage gap this closes (measured across all 69 repos): kubeconfig not ignored in 67 *.key/*.pem not ignored in 67 id_rsa not ignored in 68 .env not ignored in 63 .env.example and .env.*.example remain tracked via negation.

Why
A full-history scan found private keys, a Kubernetes kubeconfig with cluster credentials, and a Terraform state file committed across this organization. The root cause was not carelessness in one repo — it was that nothing was configured to stop it:
kubeconfig*.key/*.pemid_rsa.envThree repos had no
.gitignoreat all.What this adds
An identical baseline block in every repo covering: Kubernetes credentials, private keys/keystores, Terraform state and local workspace,
.envfiles, cloud CLI credential caches, vendored dependencies, and OS noise..env.example/.env.*.examplestay tracked via explicit negation.Note
Push protection is now enabled org-wide, but it only blocks recognized secret patterns — it will not stop a
kubeconfigor.tfstate. This is the complementary control.Removing this material from history is a separate decision tracked in POps-Rox/.github#1.
