Yes, the content folder is the only folder that can contain user generated content.

The information in site/accounts should not go into a public repo, cause it contains sensible data.

You may also want to check out the docs on custom folder setup: [http://getkirby.com/docs/advanced/customized-folder-setup](http://getkirby.com/docs/advanced/customized-folder-setup)

You can also use the [Kirby Starterkit `.gitignore`](https://github.com/getkirby/starterkit/blob/master/.gitignore) as a baseline.
