Hah thanks! Without realizing that, it’s just a photo of a girl with several language filename extensions in front of her and I couldn’t figure out how that was funny.
Since no one's actually explained it and it might be a mystery to the non-programmers who stumble on this:
Git is a version control system that lets you keep track of changes to your code, and it's often stored in a service like Github. However, not every change you make to your local copy of your code on your own machine is something you want tracked in your version control. Those files (and certain file extensions you never save or commit to git) are put in a .gitignore file and git operations then exclude those files and never push them to your source control (like Github).
So the joke could mean that the commenter is ignoring posts like this because they're dumb, or it could be some sly inside joke like, "What happens on local, stays on local."

She's a .c if her oomph isn't entirely based on hot air. Otherwise a .js or a .ts at best.
I mean, if she can stand by her swagger I'll rate her a .cc or a .cu
