Explanation

.gitignore is correct. It is a plain text file in the repository root (or subdirectories) that lists file patterns Git should ignore and never include in commits or pushes. By adding configuration file names or patterns to .gitignore, the administrator ensures those files are excluded when publishing updated code. 'git clone' (A) is used to copy a repository, not to filter files. '.git' (B) is the hidden directory that stores Git metadata for the repository itself, not a filtering mechanism. 'git fetch' (D) downloads remote changes and has no role in excluding files from publication.
