.gitignore does not understand my folder wildcard on windows
I'm encountering a weird issue with .gitignore on Windows. I want git to ignore all .exe files, except those in the Dependencies folder (and all subfolders). So I have: .gitignore: *.exe !/Dependencies/**/*.exe This, unfortunately, does not work. Meanwhile, this does: *.exe !/Dependencies/folder/subfolder/*.exe So I'm won...
How could I ignore bin and obj folders from git repository?
I want to ignore bin and obj folders from my git repository. As I've found out, there is no easy way to do this in .gitignore. So, are there any other way? Using clean solution in Visual Studio? ...
Git - git add in a gitignore directory
If my .gitignore file has tmp\ in it and I do a git add file.test from tmp, Git adds file.test to the repository. If file.test never changes, than this is as good as a one time add to the repository, right? Say for static files that I want to be in version control. You want the file in an initial clone and that's it. I assume file.t...
Is there a way to setup remote-specific .gitignores?
Is there a simple way to setup different .gitignore files for different remotes? I have a repository I push up to both Heroku and Github. I need database.yml for Heroku, but don't want some of the information to be pushed up to Github. So I need a different .gitignore file for each of the remotes. I tried having two separate branch...

Git subtree not properly using .gitignore when doing a partial clone
I am a graduate student with many scripts, bibliography data in bibtex, thesis draft in latex, presentations in open office, posters in scribus, and figures and result data. I would like to put everything in one project under version control. Then when I need to work on a portion such as the bibliography data, I would like to check tha...
Multiple Git repositories in one directory
Hello, I would like to deploy a directory to multiple developers having different permissions. So this is one thing Git cannot do. What about creating two repositories in one directory and assigning them different file lists by excluding files managed by the other repository with the .gitignore file. Example: /www/project/.git for all ...
Git ignore sub folders
I have a lot of projects in my .Net solution. I would like to exclude all "bin/Debug" and "bin/Release" folders (and their contents), but still include the "bin" folder itself and any dll's contained therein. .gitignore with "bin/" ignores "Debug" and "Release" folders, but also any dll's contained in the "bin" folder. "bin/Debug" or "...
Using Git to work with subversion: Ignoring modifications to tracked files
I am currently working with a subversion repository but I am using git to work locally on my machine. It makes work much easier, but it also makes some of the bad behavior going on in the subversion repo quite glaring and that creates problems for me. There is a somewhat complex local build process after pulling down the code and it cr...

git submodule, ignoring the wrong directory
I am new to git but have spent a good deal of time reading through documentation and gotchas on git submodules before trying them. I am having a problem that I feel -- probably naively -- is a bug in git: I have a project, in that root directory I have a plugins folder, which has a submodule called myplugin. I added it with git subm...
What .gitignore I should use with QT projects? (QT Creator)
So, after little thinking I have wrote the following: # In repository we don't need to have: # Compiled object files *.o # Generated MOC, resource and UI files moc_*.cpp qrc_*.cpp ui_*.h # Debug and Release directories (created under Windows, not Linux) Debug/ Release/ # .log files (usually created by QtTest - thanks to VestniK) *.l...
How can you indicate files to ignore in svn when using git and the git-svn bridge?
There is a master subversion repository that I've cloned a git repo from. I've got a lot of ignored files in my .gitignore that I'd like the svn repository to know about. I know that I can use git svn show-ignored to pull the ignored list from subversion, but how can I do the reverse? Send a list of files to be ignored back to the svn...
Confusing .gitignore syntax
I was reading http://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/docs/gitignore.html and the 6 points used to explain the ignore patterns seem to be describing a custom variant of a glob search syntax. I am more familiar with Mercurial, which allows to explicitly ignore via glob or regex patterns, no questions asked. Is there any similar funct...
Git: ignoring everything except directories
Hi, I have read this manual: http://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/docs/gitignore.html As I am working with gitosis, I rather use a .gitignore than explicit git commands. Thus says the manual: Of course, not tracking files with git is just a matter of not calling git add on them. But it quickly becomes annoying to hav...
Is there a way to tell git-status to ignore the effects of .gitignore files?
I have configured numerous .gitignore files to filter out many different unwanted files from a set of about 6,000 untracked files. I want to do 'git add .' when I've got my filtered list looking the way I want it. But, then I want to disable the .gitignore filters temporarily to see what got left behind, and make sure there was nothing ...
How do gitignore exclusion rules actually work?
I'm trying to solve a gitignore problem on a large directory structure, but to simplify my question I have reduced it to the following. I have the following directory structure of two files (foo, bar) in a brand new git repository (no commits so far): a/b/c/foo a/b/c/bar Obviously, a 'git status -u' shows: # Untracked files: ... # ...
Protect Files from Git
I'm using Git with WindRiver to manage a project of mine. The code is being managed, however the project files (such as .cproject, .project, .wrmakefile, and .wrproject) are not.
