Pull Request Overview
This PR adds a new HIP.gitignore template for AMD HIP (ROCm) projects. It aims to provide an up-to-date ignore file that covers build directories, generated files, IDE settings, and tutorial outputs while avoiding overly broad ignore rules.
- Introduces a dedicated HIP.gitignore file based on the official AMD ROCm HIP guidelines.
- Excludes build artifacts, intermediate files, and IDE/editor-specific settings.
- Ensures sample source files remain tracked while generated files and logs are ignored.

@Young-TW could you please strip this down to be very HIP focused? We try not to throw everything into our templates and instead make them very specific to the language or technology in question. |

Thanks for the review. I’ve removed all OS- and editor-specific rules, leaving only HIP/ROCm build artifacts and sample outputs. Please let me know if any further tweaks are needed! |

I’ve rebased onto upstream/main to remove the merge commit and then force-pushed (--force-with-lease). The branch history is now linear — please let me know if you’d like any further adjustments. |
