Telling git to ignore symlinks

Question

This question has appeared in similar forms here and here, but they don\'t seem to match up with what I\'m looking for.

I\'m making a project in StaticMatic, a Ruby

Answer 1

My solution might seem silly, but I'd rather do this than update the .gitignore file every time a new file is added.

I merely leave the links with a default name like "link to xxx" and then add the following line to my .gitignore file:

link to *

Then you just ensure you do not name any other files/folders with a name starting with "link to " and you're sorted.
