Add .gitignore file to .pixi/env/myenv

Currently .gitignore seems not to be changed if it already exists. I think that's a reasonable choice.

We could add a .gitignore file to the env like in python/cpython#108125

Thanks for the note, I think that's a very good idea.

Its automatically closed, but i would like to give a little more background:

Its not adding the ignore file to the environment as it would be pretty invasive to do this every time you run any pixi command. As you can't do it on pixi init because it will only be done for the initial author of the package and not if you clone the package.
The possibility to avoid the addition would be hard to configure in a user friendly way.
This is not a important feature of pixi, its a helper feature that we want to support with a limited impact on the project.

The create or append functionality is the simplest and most user friendly that we want to add right now.

I hope this helps.
