What happened?

Can someone explain this rule in .gitignore?

Perhaps a file or folder with that name was created earlier. But now I see the need for it. I wanted to create a file utils/phpunit/phpunit.xml and it matches the rule. That's probably not how it's supposed to work.

CodeIgniter4/.gitignore

Lines 81 to 82 in 11f0130

	# Don't save phpunit under version control.
	phpunit

Steps to Reproduce

None

Expected Output

Delete a rule or limit the scope

Anything else?

I think that should have been phpunit.xml.

In PHPUnit, the order of finding of configuration file is as follows:

• phpunit.dist.xml or phpunit.xml.dist
• phpunit.xml
• custom path passed in command line

phpunit.xml is usually gitignored so that you can provide modifications to the standard phpunit.dist.xml then use that

@paulbalandan we have /phpunit*.xml line and

CodeIgniter4/tests/README.md

Lines 25 to 29 in 11f0130

	If running under macOS or Linux, you can create a symbolic link to make running tests a touch nicer.
	```console
	ln -s ./vendor/bin/phpunit ./phpunit
	```

No need to ignore directories or other files not in the root

@paulbalandan we have /phpunit*.xml line

Ok, I see. So that means the phpunit executable itself.
