Build objects are not in .gitignore

[taigrr]

This repo is >20Mb.

Running the following one-liner:

git rev-list --objects --all |   git cat-file --batch-check='%(objecttype) %(objectname)
%(objectsize) %(rest)' |   sed -n 's/^blob //p' |   sort --numeric-sort --key=2 |   cut -c 1-12,41- |   $(command -v gnumfmt || echo numfmt) --field=2 --to=iec-i --suffix=B --padding=7 --round=nearest

Force-pushing to a public repo is not usually a good idea, but to reduce the size I would recommend it in this scenario.

git checkout dev
FILTER_BRANCH_SQUELCH_WARNING=1 git filter-branch --tree-filter 'rm -f build/habit_tracker' HEAD
rm -rf .git/refs/original/
git checkout feature/form-validation
FILTER_BRANCH_SQUELCH_WARNING=1 git filter-branch --tree-filter 'rm -f build/habit_tracker' HEAD
git gc
git push --force
echo build/ >> .gitignore

You can see the results of the filter-branch over at my fork.

This results in a 33% size reduction for the repo as a whole.

Created a PR to resolve this issue and test the functionality before pushing to dev
