Here's a basic "robots.txt":

User-agent: *
Disallow: /

you may not want Google to crawl the /images directory of your site, as it's both meaningless to you and a waste of your site's bandwidth. "Robots.txt" lets you tell Google just that.

We can restrict the personal information from the search engine by using robots.txt & we can hide the file or folder by using this file.

The use of robot.txt can help you shape bot-traffic. Spiders will crawl all your files if you don’t instruct them. Depending on your technical skills, there are two ways to generate a sitemap. You can either download or install a sitemap generator, or you can use an online sitemap generation tool.

It is easy to create one, try searching up on Google terms like "robots.txt example..." and you will get examples and tutorials that will guide you how to make robots for your website / blog.
