[FIXED] How to create the .gitignore file for prestashop 1.7

Issue

I would like to know how I could create the .gitignore file for Prestashop 1.7, to be able to carry a good code version, both for the development environment, as well as to have it ready in production.

Solution

This is the most complete Prestashop 1.7 .gitignore file I've seem. If it has any flaws they are related to the fact it has too many entries, but that is not a problem :)
