Can "Git ignore" be changed?

When creating a new repository, on desktop github, there is an option "Git ignore". Can you change that setting afterwards once the repo is created, either in github web and desktop versions?

Haven't used the desktop version, but .gitignore is essentially just a file in your project directory that tells git which files to ignore when pushing or pulling. You should be able to just open it in your text editor and change it.

.gitignore is just a file that can be redacted anytime.

Thanks guys, I didn't know a file was created based upon the wizard checkbox... Really starting out with git... Next time I'll check more carefully before asking!
