gitignore

I want git to ignore my UserInterfaceState.xcuserstate file in my XCode4 project, but where should I put the .gitignore file?, is it inside the .git folder? or out? The .git is in same folder with the ProjectName.xcodeproj file You can have a .gitignore in every single directory of your project. However, the best practice is to have one single .gitignore file on the project root directory, and place all files that you want to ignore in it, like this: ignoredFile.whatever ignoredDirectory/* directory/ignoredFileInsideDirectory .svn Once you create the .gitignore file, the ignore files that have

What am I missing that needs to be done in order to get git to ignore my .idea/ path? ctote@ubuntu:~/dev/1$ git status On branch master Your branch is up-to-date with 'origin/master'. Changes not staged for commit: (use "git add <file>..." to update what will be committed) (use "git checkout -- <file>..." to discard changes in working directory) modified: .idea/.name modified: .idea/misc.xml modified: .idea/modules.xml modified: .idea/vcs.xml modified: .idea/workspace.xml modified: src/Receiver.java modified: test/1/agent/WindowsQueryHandlerTest.java Untracked files: (use "git add <file>..."

I'm using Git for Xcode 4 project version control. I've explicitly added ProjectFolder.xcodeproj/project.xcworkspace/xcuserdata/myUserName.xcuserdatad/UserInterfaceState.xcuserstate to .gitignore , but Git it won't ignore it. Any ideas why this is so? matt Git is probably already tracking the file. From the gitignore docs : To stop tracking a file that is currently tracked, use git rm --cached . Use this, replacing [project] and [username] with your info: git rm --cached [project].xcodeproj/project.xcworkspace/xcuserdata/[username].xcuserdatad/UserInterfaceState.xcuserstate git commit -m

I'm managing several pdf and graffle files with git. I want to add pdf files to repository only if graffle with same filename does not exists, e. g. only add foo.pdf and bar.graffle into repository in the directory $ ls foo.pdf bar.pdf bar.graffle If such target can't be completed only with gitignore , is there any work arounds exist? bar.pdf can only be generated with bar.graffle through several steps in GUI, so I want to keep them on commit. Note that .gitignore only exists as a hint to git as to which files, directories or file types will be ignored by git add . However, .gitignore will not

This question already has an answer here: Git Including an arbitrarily nested subfolder when its parent has been excluded in .gitignore 2 answers I have a node.js project with some node_modules. Now a node_module was not upto expectations and I manually changed, compiled and put it back into the node_module folder. I want to add this module to the GIT, however, the node_modules are listed in my gitignore (obviously). I tried the following /node_modules !/node_modules/the_module/** But files are not showing up when doing git status Is it possible to whitelist one package inside a ignored folder

I would like to know which file svn propset svn:ignore modifies (equivalent to .gitignore ) so that I can actually commit that file to the repo. E.g. I am working with Java and Maven , which creates a directory named "target", which I am ignoring. svn propset svn:ignore target . does work but I don't know which settings file is modifies by that command so that I propagate the change to my team. RELATED: SVN ignore like .gitignore mateuszlo svn:ignore property is stored together with other properties inside the .svn folder. It will be stored in the repository automatically after your next

I want to ignore a file/directory tree that was previously tracked - ignore it forever but have it not being deleted on a pull - just have it ignored on the repository the pull happened. Is this possible ? Why not (if not) ? How should I proceed ? NB: the accepted answer in Remove a file from a Git repository without deleting it from the local filesystem - namely git rm --cached path - will result in the file being deleted on a pull. Nasty. Not only that but "it will delete your file if you check out a revision from before the deletion and then check out a revision from after the deletion"

I would like to find all file paths that are not filtered by a .gitignore (or any nested .gitignore files within sub-directories) using C#. This is similar to the question here with regard to PHP. I'm wondering if someone knows if this code had already been made available (in C#) somewhere online. UPDATE: To answer what I want this for, it is so I can run my own little periodic backup of my source files for certain projects (zipping the result), for added peace of mind. The hard part is getting a robust .gitignore parser to get the filtered file paths (and exclude the others), without wanting
