gitignore

I have a file in a git repository that has a local change on it. I want to have git ignore the local change forever, but not the file. In particular, If the file isn't touched besides this change, git add . should never stage it. Likewise, git commit -a shouldn't commit it. If I ever make an additional change to the file, I should be able to stage and commit that change - but the change I'm ignoring should not be staged and committed. Is there a way to do this? Doing some research, I read about "smudge/clean cycles," where, if I read correctly, the file would be marked as unchanged, the change

I have a structure similar to the following: /root/ /root/data/ /root/data/script.php /root/data/some.json /root/data/feature/one.json /root/data/feature/two.json /root/data/other-feature/one.json /root/data/other-feature/important-script.php I'd like git to ignore any .json files under the '/data/...' path, but '/data/' sometimes contains sub-directories. My understanding is that a simple data/*.json in gitignore will only match one directory, as the * doesn't match / , as stated at http://git-scm.com/docs/gitignore , "Pattern Format", bullet #6: Otherwise, git treats the pattern as a shell

I am somewhat confused, I noticed that upon setting up my first Git repository in Android Studio all of the correct files to ignore were automatically added to the Project's Settings under Settings > Version Control > Ignored Files. This appeared to be magic, I never told it what to ignore. Moreover, there is no .gitignore file in any directory of my project as I'm used to creating. This being said, I can't get my second project to automatically add ignored files, and really, I just want to use the simple .gitignore method. Does anyone know how to override Android Studio's ignored files list

I am working in a team environment, and there is already a .gitignore file. I want to add more items to the .gitignore file, but I don't want to check this file in either. It is possible to set custom ignore files which only apply to me? Also, I want to give someone read only access to a private git repository on our server, if I add their SSH key to our server they will get full access like everyone else. How can I limit it to read-only, no commits allowed. Put your private ignore rules in .git/info/exclude . See gitignore(5) . For read-only access, use git-daemon , a web server , or Gitosis,

Can you create a .gitignore file in a directory that only applies to files (and directories) within that directory? Yes, you can. Try it, it works fine. Put a .gitignore in the root of your repo, and put another .gitignore with additional things to ignore in a subdirectory. Tats_innit Similar question was: Are multiple `.gitignore`s frowned on?

I am trying to use .gitignore file to exclude templates.js located in public/app/ folder. My .gitignore file looks like this: /vendor /node_modules composer.phar composer.lock .DS_Store templates.js But when I check in the Git Gui, the templates.js file is still show in it. How can I specifically exclude a file using .gitignore ? In contrast to what the name "ignore" might suggest. .gitignore is only consulted when you git add files: in other words a file already added to the (index of the) repository will not be excluded based on the .gitignore . First you better modify the .gitignore such

Title says it all. I am trying to add my NuGet packages to the repository. Everything but the .dll files are being detected. The gitignore file contains no references to *.dll. The .dll files don't get recognized when located anywhere in the entire repository. info/exclude is also empty. I have also cloned the repository (file-system to file-system as opposed from remote to file-sysytem) with no luck. This issue also happens on two different computers. I could add the .dll files manually, but they should be tracked. Why are they not being tracked? Do you have either ~/.gitignore_global or ~/
