Refactor .gitignore to streamline file exclusions and improve organization

- Consolidated and updated entries to exclude unnecessary files and directories, including build artifacts, logs, and environment files.
- Added specific patterns for temporary editor files and OS-specific files to reduce clutter in the repository.
- Enhanced clarity by grouping related exclusions, ensuring a cleaner and more maintainable .gitignore structure.
