Nuxt 2 reached End-of-Life on June 30th, 2024.

.output

Nuxt creates the .output/ directory when building your application for production.
This directory should be added to your .gitignore file to avoid pushing the build output to your repository.

Use this directory to deploy your Nuxt application to production.

Read more in Docs > Getting Started > Deployment.
You should not touch any files inside since the whole directory will be re-created when running nuxt build.
