Ignoring files and directories in ESLint

Create an .eslintignore file to demonstrate how to exclude files and directories from being linted by ESLint.
node_modules/
This line ignores all in the node_modules directory.
build/
This line ignores all in the build directory.
dist/
This line ignores all in the dist directory.
config/*.js
This line ignores all JavaScript files in the config directory.
**/*.min.js
This line ignores all JavaScript files with a .min.js extension in all directories.
src/ignored-file.js
This line ignores a specific file: src/ignored-file.js.
!src/required-file.js
This line re-includes a file that might have been ignored by previous patterns, ensuring that it gets linted.
