How do I not commit my config.php file(completely ignore it, neither download or upload it) to Github when using VSCode?

I have a config.php file on Github, I however have a different config.php file on my PC, how can I make Github completely ignore the file and make it both not download and upload it when I make a new commit?

I am using VSCode.

It is really annoying when it uploads the password of the config.php file to my private repo, is there a solution to that or should I just remove the config.php file from the folder when I want to make a new commit?
