For various reasons, I have the entry in my .gitignore in the root of a project:
*.c
As I desire, this ignores all C files from being included. However, I really only want the C files to only be ignored in the root directory, and not all the sub-directories:
foo.c
bar.c
folder/baz.c
In the above scheme, I only want foo.c and bar.c ignored. I do not want this gitignore rule to work recursively. How do I do this?
I'm aware of being able to negate the rule with !*.c, but I'd rather not do that for every subdirectory. (This is what I am currently doing).
You want to do this:
/*.c
I was looking for a bit from the manpage to quote, and found that this exact example's in there! Oops!
A leading slash matches the beginning of the pathname. For example,
"/*.c"matches"cat-file.c"but not"mozilla-sha1/sha1.c".
