gitignore

Hey I'm trying to get into git, as an emacs user first thing to do is to make sure the ~ and #*# files are ignored by git. Documentation talks about .gitignore which I've been using. However couple of questions remain: gitignore is now checked in and part of a branch. Should .gitignore be checked in and if so, how can i make it easy available across all branches in my repository? is there a way to use the gitignore with git config so gitignore stays constant over all my repos? How can I deal with emacs lock files as #*# is treated as a comment? I'm on mac ox snow leopard. regards, Jeroen Add

I'm trying to implement the workaround for the NuGet Package Restore Issues . This involves ignoring the contents of all packages folders, at any level in the hierarchy. However, .targets files (typically in subfolders of packages folders) should not be ignored. For example: .gitignore YourProject/ YourProject.csproj packages/ repositories.config Microsoft.Bcl.Build.1.0.7/ lib/ foo.dll tools/ Microsoft.Bcl.Build.targets Should include only files: .gitignore YourProject.csproj Microsoft.Bcl.Build.targets Windows, git version 1.8.1.msysgit.1. I have read several answers on StackOverflow, checked

I am developing an app and I must take that project to GitHub. Now, I must make gitIgnore file. I know that file is used to ignore some specified files from my project. I used gitIgnore.io service and I received generated file. This is my gitIgnore file: # Created by https://www.gitignore.io/api/android ### Android ### # Built application files *.apk *.ap_ # Files for the ART/Dalvik VM *.dex # Java class files *.class # Generated files bin/ gen/ out/ # Gradle files .gradle/ build/ # Local configuration file (sdk path, etc) local.properties # Proguard folder generated by Eclipse proguard/ # Log

In a certain folder, I have image files named foo.jpg , bar.png , etc. I want to keep them in version control, except those named like 1_baz.png , 2_zaz.jpg , etc (since they are actually generated). What's the entry should I add to .gitignore ? Regex such as [0-9]+.* does not seem to work. Git does not use regexp but glob pattern to match ignored files. Add the following line in your root .gitignore : [0-9]* If you only want to ignore those files in the /static/img/ subdirectory you should either add the previous line to .gitignore file inside that subdirectory or add the following line in

I'm trying to migrate a project from SVN to git. This is the command I use: $ git svn clone http://oursvnserver/ --no-metadata -A ../authors-transform.txt --trunk=path/to/trunk --branches=path/to/branches --tags=path/to/tags . --username=mysvnusername --prefix=origin/ The current directory is the directory that I want to become a repository. authors-transform.txt is most definitely in the right location. The project uses the standard layout, but it does not exist at the root of the repository. (Unfortunately, someone long ago started the practice of just stuffing all projects into the same

I'd like VSCode to automatically exclude files/folders based on my .gitignore configuration. For the explorer exclusion I've found an extension ( explorer-excluded-files which manages the files.exclude setting), but for the quick open file ( cmd + p ) I didn't find anything. I guess I can try and tweak other *.exclude settings but I wonder why isn't there a global method to exclude .gitignore entries in all relevant places? Otherwise I have to manually sync the settings every time .gitignore changes. Regarding the explorer, in addition of the existing plugin you have found, there is a request
