# E-CFG-002

> Doctor warns when .vendo/data/.gitignore is missing, which risks committing the local store into version control.

```text config/data-gitignore theme={null}
warning: .vendo/data/.gitignore is missing
```

`check: config/data-gitignore` · `error_code: E-CFG-002` · `doctor exits: 0`

## What you're seeing

This is a warning, not a failure; doctor still exits 0. Nothing is broken
yet, but the guard rail that keeps your local database out of git is gone.

## Why

The gitignore that keeps the local store's data directory out of version
control was deleted. Without it, everything PGlite writes to `.vendo/data`
is fair game for `git add`.

## The fix

Run `npx vendo init` to recreate it, or write the file by hand.

```bash theme={null}
npx vendo init
```

```text .vendo/data/.gitignore theme={null}
*
!.gitignore
```

Re-run `npx vendo doctor` once the file is back.
