+
+### Step 1: Create Project
+
+Start by creating a new TanStack Start project by following the [Start new project](https://tanstack.com/start/latest/docs/framework/solid/quick-start) guide on the TanStack Start website.
+
+### Step 2: Install Intlayer Packages
+
+Install the necessary packages using your preferred package manager:
+
+```bash packageManager="npm"
+npm install intlayer solid-intlayer
+npm install vite-intlayer --save-dev
+npx intlayer init
+```
+
+```bash packageManager="pnpm"
+pnpm add intlayer solid-intlayer
+pnpm add vite-intlayer --save-dev
+pnpm intlayer init
+```
+
+```bash packageManager="yarn"
+yarn add intlayer solid-intlayer
+yarn add vite-intlayer --save-dev
+yarn intlayer init
+```
+
+```bash packageManager="bun"
+bun add intlayer solid-intlayer
+bun add vite-intlayer --dev
+bun x intlayer init
+```
+
+- **intlayer**
+
+  The core package that provides internationalization tools for configuration management, translation, [content declaration](https://github.com/aymericzip/intlayer/blob/main/docs/docs/en/dictionary/content_file.md), transpilation, and [CLI commands](https://github.com/aymericzip/intlayer/blob/main/docs/docs/en/cli/index.md).
+
+- **solid-intlayer**
+  The package that integrates Intlayer with Solid application. It provides context providers and hooks for Solid internationalization.
+
+- **vite-intlayer**
+  Includes the Vite plugin for integrating Intlayer with the [Vite bundler](https://vite.dev/guide/why.html#why-bundle-for-production), as well as middleware for detecting the user's preferred locale, managing cookies, and handling URL redirection.
+
+### Step 3: Configuration of your project
+
+Create a config file to configure the languages of your application:
+
+```typescript fileName="intlayer.config.ts"
+import type { IntlayerConfig } from "intlayer";
+
+import { Locales } from "intlayer";
+
+const config: IntlayerConfig = {
+  internationalization: {
+    defaultLocale: Locales.ENGLISH,
+    locales: [Locales.ENGLISH, Locales.FRENCH, Locales.SPANISH],
+  },
+};
+
+export default config;
+```
+
+> Through this configuration file, you can set up localized URLs, middleware redirection, cookie names, the location and extension of your content declarations, disable Intlayer logs in the console, and more. For a complete list of available parameters, refer to the [configuration documentation](https://github.com/aymericzip/intlayer/blob/main/docs/docs/en/configuration.md).
+
+### Step 4: Integrate Intlayer in Your Vite Configuration
+
+Add the intlayer plugin into your configuration:
+
+```typescript fileName="vite.config.ts"
+import { intlayer } from "vite-intlayer";
+import { defineConfig } from "vite";
+import { devtools } from "@tanstack/devtools-vite";
+import { tanstackStart } from "@tanstack/solid-start/plugin/vite";
+import solidPlugin from "vite-plugin-solid";
+
+export default defineConfig({
+  plugins: [
+    devtools(),
+    tanstackStart({
+      router: {
+        routeFileIgnorePattern:
+          ".content.(ts|tsx|js|mjs|cjs|jsx|json|jsonc|json5)$",
+      },
+    }),
+    solidPlugin({ ssr: true }),
+    intlayer(),
+  ],
+});
+```
+
+> The `intlayer()` Vite plugin is used to integrate Intlayer with Vite. It ensures the building of content declaration files and monitors them in development mode. It defines Intlayer environment variables within the Vite application. Additionally, it provides aliases to optimize performance.
+
+### Step 5: Create Root Layout
+
+Configure your root layout to support internationalization by using `useMatches` to detect the current locale and setting the `lang` and `dir` attributes on the `html` tag.
+
+```tsx fileName="src/routes/__root.tsx"
+import {
+  HeadContent,
+  Outlet,
+  Scripts,
+  createRootRouteWithContext,
+  useMatches,
+} from "@tanstack/solid-router";
+import { TanStackRouterDevtools } from "@tanstack/solid-router-devtools";
+import { HydrationScript } from "solid-js/web";
+import { Suspense } from "solid-js";
+import { IntlayerProvider } from "solid-intlayer";
+import { defaultLocale, getHTMLTextDir, type Locale } from "intlayer";
+
+export const Route = createRootRouteWithContext()({
+  shellComponent: RootComponent,
+});
+
+type Params = {
+  locale: Locale;
+};
+
+function RootComponent() {
+  const matches = useMatches();
+
+  // Try to find locale in params of any active match
+  // This assumes you use the dynamic segment "/{-$locale}" in your route tree
+  const locale =
+    (
+      matches().find((match) => match.routeId === "/{-$locale}/")
+        ?.params as Params
+    )?.locale ?? defaultLocale;
+
+  return (
+    <html dir={getHTMLTextDir(locale)} lang={locale}>
+      <head>
+        <HydrationScript />
+      </head>
+      <body>
+        <HeadContent />
+        <IntlayerProvider locale={locale}>
+          <Suspense>
+            <Outlet />
+            <TanStackRouterDevtools />
+          </Suspense>
+        </IntlayerProvider>
+        <Scripts />
+      </body>
+    </html>
+  );
+}
+```
+
+### Step 6: Create Locale Layout (Optional)
+
+Create a layout that handles the locale prefix and performs validation. This layout will ensure that only valid locales are processed.
+
+> This step is optional if you don't need to validate the locale prefix at the route level.
+
+```tsx fileName="src/routes/{-$locale}/route.tsx"
+import { createFileRoute, Outlet, redirect } from "@tanstack/solid-router";
+import { validatePrefix } from "intlayer";
+
+export const Route = createFileRoute("/{-$locale}")({
+  beforeLoad: ({ params }) => {
+    const localeParam = params.locale;
+
+    // Validate the locale prefix
+    const { isValid, localePrefix } = validatePrefix(localeParam);
+
+    if (!isValid) {
+      throw redirect({
+        to: "/{-$locale}/404",
+        params: { locale: localePrefix },
+        replace: true,
+      });
+    }
+  },
+  component: Outlet,
+});
+```
+
+> Here, `{-$locale}` is a dynamic route parameter that gets replaced with the current locale. This notation makes the slot optional, allowing it to work with routing modes such as `'prefix-no-default'` etc.
+
+> Be aware that this slot may cause issues if you use multiple dynamic segments in the same route (e.g., `/{-$locale}/other-path/$anotherDynamicPath/...`).
+> For the `'prefix-all'` mode, you may prefer switching the slot to `$locale` instead.
+> For the `'no-prefix'` or `'search-params'` mode, you can remove the slot entirely.
+
+### Step 7: Declare Your Content
+
+Create and manage your content declarations to store translations:
+
+```tsx fileName="src/contents/page.content.ts"
+import type { Dictionary } from "intlayer";
+
+import { t } from "intlayer";
+
+const appContent = {
+  content: {
+    links: {
+      about: t({
+        en: "About",
+        es: "Acerca de",
+        fr: "À propos",
+      }),
+      home: t({
+        en: "Home",
+        es: "Inicio",
+        fr: "Accueil",
+      }),
+    },
+    meta: {
+      title: t({
+        en: "Welcome to Intlayer + TanStack Router",
+        es: "Bienvenido a Intlayer + TanStack Router",
+        fr: "Bienvenue à Intlayer + TanStack Router",
+      }),
+      description: t({
+        en: "This is an example of using Intlayer with TanStack Router",
+        es: "Este es un ejemplo de uso de Intlayer con TanStack Router",
+        fr: "Ceci est un exemple d'utilisation d'Intlayer avec TanStack Router",
+      }),
+    },
+  },
+  key: "app",
+} satisfies Dictionary;
+
+export default appContent;
+```
+
+> Your content declarations can be defined anywhere in your application as soon they are included into the `contentDir` directory (by default, `./app`). And match the content declaration file extension (by default, `.content.{json,ts,tsx,js,jsx,mjs,cjs}`).
+
+> For more details, refer to the [content declaration documentation](https://github.com/aymericzip/intlayer/blob/main/docs/docs/en/dictionary/content_file.md).
+
+### Step 7: Create Locale-Aware Components and Hooks
+
+Create a `LocalizedLink` component for locale-aware navigation:
+
+```tsx fileName="src/components/LocalizedLink.tsx"
+import { Link, type LinkProps } from "@tanstack/solid-router";
+import { getPrefix } from "intlayer";
+import { useLocale } from "solid-intlayer";
+import type { JSX } from "solid-js";
+
+export const LOCALE_ROUTE = "{-$locale}" as const;
+
+export type RemoveLocaleParam<TVal> = TVal extends string
+  ? RemoveLocaleFromString<TVal>
+  : TVal;
+
+export type To = RemoveLocaleParam<LinkProps["to"]>;
+
+type CollapseDoubleSlashes<TString extends string> =
+  TString extends `${infer THead}//${infer TTail}`
+    ? CollapseDoubleSlashes<`${THead}/${TTail}`>
+    : TString;
+
+export type LocalizedLinkProps = Omit<LinkProps, "to"> & {
+  to?: To;
+} & JSX.AnchorHTMLAttributes<HTMLAnchorElement>;
+
+type RemoveAll<
+  TString extends string,
+  TSub extends string,
+> = TString extends `${infer THead}${TSub}${infer TTail}`
+  ? RemoveAll<`${THead}${TTail}`, TSub>
+  : TString;
+
+type RemoveLocaleFromString<TString extends string> = CollapseDoubleSlashes<
+  RemoveAll<TString, typeof LOCALE_ROUTE>
+>;
+
+export const LocalizedLink = (props: LocalizedLinkProps) => {
+  const { locale } = useLocale();
+
+  return (
+    <Link
+      {...props}
+      params={{
+        locale: getPrefix(locale()).localePrefix,
+        ...(typeof props.params === "object" ? props.params : {}),
+      }}
+      to={`/${LOCALE_ROUTE}${props.to ?? ""}` as LinkProps["to"]}
+    />
+  );
+};
+```
+
+This component has two objectives:
+
+- Remove the unnecessary `{-$locale}` prefix from the URL.
+- Inject the locale parameter into the URL to ensure the user is directly redirected to the localized route.
+
+Then we can create a `useLocalizedNavigate` hook for programmatic navigation:
+
+```tsx fileName="src/hooks/useLocalizedNavigate.tsx"
+import { useNavigate } from "@tanstack/solid-router";
+import { getLocalizedUrl } from "intlayer";
+import { useLocale } from "solid-intlayer";
+
+export const useLocalizedNavigate = () => {
+  const navigate = useNavigate();
+  const { locale } = useLocale();
+
+  const localizedNavigate = (to: string) => {
+    const localizedTo = getLocalizedUrl(to, locale());
+    return navigate({ to: localizedTo });
+  };
+
+  return localizedNavigate;
+};
+```
+
+### Step 8: Utilize Intlayer in Your Pages
+
+Access your content dictionaries throughout your application:
+
+#### Localized Home Page
+
+```tsx fileName="src/routes/{-$locale}/index.tsx"
+import { createFileRoute } from "@tanstack/solid-router";
+import { useIntlayer } from "solid-intlayer";
+import { LocalizedLink } from "@/components/LocalizedLink";
+
+export const Route = createFileRoute("/{-$locale}/")({
+  component: RouteComponent,
+});
+
+function RouteComponent() {
+  const content = useIntlayer("index-page");
+
+  return (
+    <main>
+      <h1>{content().heroTitle}</h1>
+      <p>{content().heroDesc}</p>
+      <div>
+        <LocalizedLink to="/">{content().navHome}</LocalizedLink>
+        <LocalizedLink to="/about">{content().navAbout}</LocalizedLink>
+      </div>
+    </main>
+  );
+}
+```
+
+> In Solid, `useIntlayer` returns an **accessor** function (e.g., `content()`). You must call this function to access the reactive content.
+>
+> To Learn more about the `useIntlayer` hook, refer to the [documentation](https://github.com/aymericzip/intlayer/blob/main/docs/docs/en/packages/solid-intlayer/useIntlayer.md).
+
+### Step 9: Create a Locale Switcher Component
+
+Create a component to allow users to change languages:
+
+```tsx fileName="src/components/LocaleSwitcher.tsx"
+import { useLocation } from "@tanstack/solid-router";
+import { getLocaleName, getPathWithoutLocale, getPrefix } from "intlayer";
+import { For } from "solid-js";
+import { useIntlayer, useLocale } from "solid-intlayer";
+import { LocalizedLink, type To } from "./LocalizedLink";
+
+export const LocaleSwitcher = () => {
+  const content = useIntlayer("locale-switcher");
+  const location = useLocation();
+
+  const { availableLocales, locale, setLocale } = useLocale();
+
+  const pathWithoutLocale = () => getPathWithoutLocale(location().pathname);
+
+  return (
+    <div class="flex flex-row gap-2">
+      <For each={availableLocales}>
+        {(localeEl) => (
+          <LocalizedLink
+            aria-current={localeEl === locale() ? "page" : undefined}
+            onClick={() => setLocale(localeEl)}
+            params={{ locale: getPrefix(localeEl).localePrefix }}
+            to={pathWithoutLocale() as To}
+          >
+            {getLocaleName(localeEl)}
+          </LocalizedLink>
+        )}
+      </For>
+    </div>
+  );
+};
+
+export default LocaleSwitcher;
+```
+
+> In Solid, `locale` from `useLocale` is a **signal accessor**. Use `locale()` (with parentheses) to read its current value reactively.
+>
+> To Learn more about the `useLocale` hook, refer to the [documentation](https://github.com/aymericzip/intlayer/blob/main/docs/docs/en/packages/solid-intlayer/useLocale.md).
+
+### Step 10: HTML Attributes Management
+
+As seen in Step 5, you can manage the `lang` and `dir` attributes of the `html` tag using `useMatches` in your root component. This ensures that the correct attributes are set on the server and client.
+
+```tsx fileName="src/routes/__root.tsx"
+const RootComponent: ParentComponent = (props) => {
+  const matches = useMatches();
+
+  // Try to find locale in params of any active match
+  const locale =
+    (
+      matches().find((match) => match.routeId === "/{-$locale}/")
+        ?.params as Params
+    )?.locale ?? defaultLocale;
+
+  return (
+    <html dir={getHTMLTextDir(locale)} lang={locale}>
+      {/* ... */}
+    </html>
+  );
+};
+```
+
+---
+
+### Step 11: Add middleware (Optional)
+
+You can also use the `intlayerProxy` to add server-side routing to your application. This plugin will automatically detect the current locale based on the URL and set the appropriate locale cookie. If no locale is specified, the plugin will determine the most appropriate locale based on the user's browser language preferences. If no locale is detected, it will redirect to the default locale.
+
+> Note that to use the `intlayerProxy` in production, you need to switch the `vite-intlayer` package from `devDependencies` to `dependencies`.
+
+```typescript {7,14-17} fileName="vite.config.ts"
+import { tanstackStart } from "@tanstack/solid-start/plugin/vite";
+import solid from "vite-plugin-solid";
+import { nitro } from "nitro/vite";
+import { defineConfig } from "vite";
+import { intlayer, intlayerProxy } from "vite-intlayer";
+
+export default defineConfig({
+  plugins: [
+    intlayerProxy(), // The proxy should be placed before server if you use Nitro
+    nitro(),
+    intlayer(),
+    tanstackStart({
+      router: {
+        routeFileIgnorePattern:
+          ".content.(ts|tsx|js|mjs|cjs|jsx|json|jsonc|json5)$",
+      },
+    }),
+    solid(),
+  ],
+});
+```
+
+---
+
+### Step 12: Internationalize your Metadata (Optional)
+
+You can also use the `getIntlayer` function to access your content dictionaries inside the `head` loader for locale-aware metadata:
+
+```tsx fileName="src/routes/{-$locale}/index.tsx"
+import { createFileRoute } from "@tanstack/solid-router";
+import { getIntlayer } from "intlayer";
+
+export const Route = createFileRoute("/{-$locale}/")({
+  component: RouteComponent,
+  head: ({ params }) => {
+    const { locale } = params;
+    const metaContent = getIntlayer("page-metadata", locale);
+
+    return {
+      meta: [
+        { title: metaContent.title },
+        { content: metaContent.description, name: "description" },
+      ],
+    };
+  },
+});
+```
+
+---
+
+### Step 13: Retrieve the locale in your server actions (Optional)
+
+You may want to access the current locale from inside your server actions or API endpoints.
+You can do this using the `getLocale` helper from `intlayer`.
+
+Here's an example using TanStack Start's server functions:
+
+```tsx fileName="src/routes/{-$locale}/index.tsx"
+import { createServerFn } from "@tanstack/solid-start";
+import {
+  getRequestHeader,
+  getRequestHeaders,
+} from "@tanstack/solid-start/server";
+import { getCookie, getIntlayer, getLocale } from "intlayer";
+
+export const getLocaleServer = createServerFn().handler(async () => {
+  const locale = await getLocale({
+    // Get the cookie from the request (default: 'INTLAYER_LOCALE')
+    getCookie: (name) => {
+      const cookieString = getRequestHeader("cookie");
+
+      return getCookie(name, cookieString);
+    },
+    // Get the header from the request (default: 'x-intlayer-locale')
+    // Fallback using Accept-Language negotiation
+    getHeader: (name) => getRequestHeader(name),
+  });
+
+  // Retrieve some content using getIntlayer()
+  const content = getIntlayer("app", locale);
+
+  return { locale, content };
+});
+```
+
+---
+
+### Step 14: Manage not found pages (Optional)
+
+When a user visits a non-existing page, you can display a custom not found page and the locale prefix may impact the way the not found page is triggered.
+
+#### Understanding TanStack Router's 404 Handling with Locale Prefixes
+
+In TanStack Router, handling 404 pages with localized routes requires a multi-layered approach:
+
+1. **Dedicated 404 route**: A specific route to display the 404 UI
+2. **Route-level validation**: Validates locale prefixes and redirects invalid ones to 404
+3. **Catch-all route**: Captures any unmatched paths within the locale segment
+
+```tsx fileName="src/routes/{-$locale}/404.tsx"
+import { createFileRoute } from "@tanstack/solid-router";
+
+// This creates a dedicated /[locale]/404 route
+// It's used both as a direct route and imported as a component in other files
+export const Route = createFileRoute("/{-$locale}/404")({
+  component: NotFoundComponent,
+});
+
+// Exported separately so it can be reused in notFoundComponent and catch-all routes
+export function NotFoundComponent() {
+  return (
+    <div>
+      <h1>404</h1>
+    </div>
+  );
+}
+```
+
+```tsx fileName="src/routes/{-$locale}/route.tsx"
+import { createFileRoute, Outlet, redirect } from "@tanstack/solid-router";
+import { validatePrefix } from "intlayer";
+import { NotFoundComponent } from "./404";
+
+export const Route = createFileRoute("/{-$locale}")({
+  // beforeLoad runs before the route renders (on both server and client)
+  // It's the ideal place to validate the locale prefix
+  beforeLoad: ({ params }) => {
+    const localeParam = params.locale;
+
+    // validatePrefix checks if the locale is valid according to your intlayer config
+    const { isValid, localePrefix } = validatePrefix(localeParam);
+
+    if (!isValid) {
+      // Invalid locale prefix - redirect to the 404 page with a valid locale prefix
+      throw redirect({
+        to: "/{-$locale}/404",
+        params: { locale: localePrefix },
+      });
+    }
+  },
+  component: Outlet,
+  // notFoundComponent is called when a child route doesn't exist
+  // e.g., /en/non-existent-page triggers this within the /en layout
+  notFoundComponent: NotFoundComponent,
+});
+```
+
+```tsx fileName="src/routes/{-$locale}/$.tsx"
+import { createFileRoute } from "@tanstack/solid-router";
+
+import { NotFoundComponent } from "./404";
+
+// The $ (splat/catch-all) route matches any path that doesn't match other routes
+// e.g., /en/some/deeply/nested/invalid/path
+// This ensures ALL unmatched paths within a locale show the 404 page
+// Without this, unmatched deep paths might show a blank page or error
+export const Route = createFileRoute("/{-$locale}/$")({
+  component: NotFoundComponent,
+});
+```
+
+### (Optional) Step 15: Extract the content of your components
+
+If you have an existing codebase, transforming thousands of files can be time-consuming.
+
+To ease this process, Intlayer propose a [compiler](https://github.com/aymericzip/intlayer/blob/main/docs/docs/en/compiler.md) / [extractor](https://github.com/aymericzip/intlayer/blob/main/docs/docs/en/cli/extract.md) to transform your components and extract the content.
+
+To set it up, you can add a `compiler` section in your `intlayer.config.ts` file:
+
+```typescript fileName="intlayer.config.ts" codeFormat="typescript"
+import { type IntlayerConfig } from "intlayer";
+
+const config: IntlayerConfig = {
+  // ... Rest of your config
+  compiler: {
+    /**
+     * Indicates if the compiler should be enabled.
+     */
+    enabled: true,
+
+    /**
+     * Defines the output files path
+     */
+    output: ({ fileName, extension }) => `./${fileName}${extension}`,
+
+    /**
+     * Indicates if the components should be saved after being transformed.
+     *
+     * - If `true`, the compiler will rewrite the component file in the disk. So the transformation will be permanent, and the compiler will skip the transformation for the next process. That way, the compiler can transform the app, and then it can be removed.
+     *
+     * - If `false`, the compiler will inject the `useIntlayer()` function call into the code in the build output only, and keep the base codebase intact. The transformation will be done only in memory.
+     */
+    saveComponents: false,
+
+    /**
+     * Dictionary key prefix
+     */
+    dictionaryKeyPrefix: "",
+  },
+};
+
+export default config;
+```
+
+```javascript fileName="intlayer.config.mjs" codeFormat="esm"
+/** @type {import('intlayer').IntlayerConfig} */
+const config = {
+  // ... Rest of your config
+  compiler: {
+    /**
+     * Indicates if the compiler should be enabled.
+     */
+    enabled: true,
+
+    /**

+    output: ({ fileName, extension }) => `./${fileName}${extension}`,
+
+    /**

+
+### Step 16: Pre-render & Generate Sitemap (Optional)
+
+Intlayer comes with a built-in sitemap generator to help you create a sitemap for your application easily. It handles localized routes and adds the necessary metadata for search engines.
+
+> The Intlayer generated sitemap supports the `xhtml:link` namespace (Hreflang XML Extensions). Unlike the default sitemap generators that only list raw URLs, Intlayer automatically creates the required bidirectional links between all language versions of a page (e.g., `/about`, `/about?lang=fr`, and `/about?lang=es`). This ensures search engines correctly index and serve the right language version to the right audience.
+
+To use it, you first need to configure your `vite.config.ts` to enable pre-rendering for your localized routes and disable the default TanStack Start sitemap generation.
+
+```typescript fileName="vite.config.ts"
+import { localeMap, localeFlatMap } from "intlayer";
+// ... other imports
+
+export const pathList = ["", "/about", "/404"];
+
+const localizedPages = localeFlatMap(({ urlPrefix }) =>
+  pathList.map((path) => ({
+    path: `${urlPrefix}${path}`,
+    prerender: {
+      enabled: true,
+    },
+  }))
+);
+
+export default defineConfig({
+  plugins: [
+    // ... other plugins
+    tanstackStart({
+      // ... other config
+      sitemap: {
+        enabled: false,
+      },
+      prerender: {
+        enabled: true,
+        crawlLinks: false,
+        concurrency: 10,
+      },
+      pages: localizedPages,
+    }),
+  ],
+});
+```
+
+Then, create a `src/routes/sitemap[.]xml.ts` route that uses the `generateSitemap` function:
+
+```typescript fileName="src/routes/sitemap[.]xml.ts"
+import { createFileRoute } from "@tanstack/solid-router";
+import { generateSitemap } from "intlayer";
+
+const SITE_URL = (
+  import.meta.env.VITE_SITE_URL ?? "http://localhost:3000"
+).replace(/\/$/, "");
+
+export const Route = createFileRoute("/sitemap.xml")({
+  server: {
+    handlers: {
+      GET: async () => {
+        const sitemap = generateSitemap(
+          [
+            { path: "/", changefreq: "daily", priority: 1.0 },
+            { path: "/about", changefreq: "monthly", priority: 0.8 },
+          ],
+          { siteUrl: SITE_URL }
+        );
+
+        return new Response(sitemap, {
+          headers: { "Content-Type": "application/xml" },
+        });
+      },
+    },
+  },
+});
+```
+

+
+### Step 17: Configure TypeScript (Optional)
+
+Intlayer uses module augmentation to get benefits of TypeScript and make your codebase stronger.
+
+Ensure your TypeScript configuration includes the autogenerated types:
+
+```json5 fileName="tsconfig.json"
+{
+  // ... your existing configurations
+  include: [
+    // ... your existing includes
+    ".intlayer/**/*.ts", // Include the auto-generated types
+  ],
+}
+```
+
+---
+
+### Git Configuration
+
+It is recommended to ignore the files generated by Intlayer. This allows you to avoid committing them to your Git repository.
+
+To do this, you can add the following instructions to your `.gitignore` file:
+
+```plaintext fileName=".gitignore"
+# Ignore the files generated by Intlayer
+.intlayer
+```
