I have many subfolders in my repo, in which there are few build/ directories I'd like to ignore when committing my code. As I understand it, there are two ways to ignore all of the folders: */build/ (Unix wildcards) build/ ( git way of ignoring files/folders) I've found Git ignore sub folders but it has two answers and I would like to know what the difference (none?) between the two approaches is . Does the same rule apply to files? build/ is the right way to do it. It will ignore any files that are inside build directories no matter how deep are these directories nested in your repo. */build/

I want to tell git to ignore e.g. jpg files regardless of how the extension is written. e.g. *.jpg should ignore .jpg, .JPG., .Jpg etc. Is that possible without telling git to ignore case altogether? Git ignore understands glob pattern, so you can use this *.[jJ][pP][gG] You can tell git to ignore case in most situations, including in your .gitignore files.

Is this possible at all and how? Update: I need this because I create a file both from dynamic and static data. Use case: I have a test directory. Each C file produces a test executable. With SRCS = $(wildcard [a-z]*.c) I can add new tests as needed and make will find the new tests, compile, run and valgrind them. I also use git. I would like .gitignore to include the executables. So there. How to create .gitignore and include static data, i.e. the files I want to be ignored ( *.o and depend ) and also the executables dynamically? Another GNU Make solution. You can do it using the define and

So I add a .gitignore files in every folder with the following content: # Ignore everything in this directory * # Except this file !.gitignore The problem is that * matches also on directories so git tracks only data/.gitignore Please don't misuse .gitignore files. Better stick to default ways to go on this, so later developers can quickly get into your project. Add an empty .gitkeep file in the folders that you want to commit without the files Exclude the folders
