+# Add A Range Of Filenames To gitignore
+
+The `.gitignore` file is a file where you can list files that should be ignored
+by git. This will prevent them from showing up in diffs, `git status`, etc.
+Most entries in the `.gitignore` file will plainly correspond to a single file.
+
+```
+# ignore env var files
+.env
+.env.local
+```
+
+Sometimes a project has a bunch of similarly named files. Autogenerated files
+are a prime example. For instance, a web app project may contain several
+sitemap files with incrementing suffix values (i.e. `sitemap-1.xml`,
+`sitemap-2.xml`, `sitemap-3.xml`, ...).
+
+I'd like to avoid having to type those all out in my `.gitignore` file. And I
+don't want to have to add new entries whenever another increment of the file is
+generated.
+
+I can handle all the current ones and future ones in a single line using some
+range pattern matching supported by the `.gitignore` file format.
+
+```
+# ignore sitemap files
+public/sitemap-[1-99].xml
+```
+
+This will ignore any sitemap files suffixed with 1 to 99. I don't really expect
+there to ever be more than handful of those files, so _99_ should definitely do
+the trick.

+# Install Command Runs For Entire Workspace
+
+When you run [`pnpm install`](https://pnpm.io/cli/install) in a monorepo, it
+will run from the context of the workspace root. That means it will install
+dependencies for your entire monorepo across apps and packages.
+
+Even if you are in a subdirectory for a specific project with its own
+`package.json`, running `pnpm install` will install dependencies for the entire
+workspace.
+
+If you want to install dependencies only for a specific project or a subset of
+projects, you can use [the `--filter`
+flag](https://pnpm.io/cli/install#--filter-package_selector).
