Based on JetBrains you should not place the workspace.xml and tasks.xml in repo, as they contain user specific settings.
If you want to ignore all .iml files then a *.iml pattern in your .gitignore should suffice. You'll obviously have to remove any currently tracked .iml files before the pattern takes effect on them. Take a look at the gitignore documentation for details....

.gitignore files The .gitignore file is just a regular file like any other. Your link suggests ignoring target. If that is the only thing you want to ignore, simply create a new file called .gitignore in the root of your repository that contains target then git add .gitignore and commit....
It ignores all files whose name ends in ~, which is a usual suffix for text editors backup files. * is a special symbol and means "any sequence of zero or more characters", while ~ is just an ordinary character. Putting the two parts together: "zero or more characters followed...
!/.gitignore tells to ignore the file in your system root. You probably mean !./.gitignore, the one in your Jenkins root. But .gitignore files in subfolders aren't ignored. I want to except only the root .gitignore. First you say they are not ignored, then that you don't want to ignore them?...

You can try something like: git rm --cached `find . -iname "*form*.cfm"` The find will return all the form*.cfm in your repo, then just issue a git rm --cached to remove the results of find from git index. I tested it with up to 4-level of nested folders: $ tree...
I met the same problem before, what I did is using little m instead: !makefile, and change the name of the make file to makefile. Don't know why, but just worked for me.

Git itself is “restarted” every time you invoke it, so no: you don't need to “restart” it. If you are referring to a Git GUI (that is, you aren't actually typing git status into a console), it depends on which GUI you are using. git-gui and gitk don't need restarting,...

I got confused even when I reproduced what you're looking at. My sympathies. Some of what git's doing here caters to abstruse usage (and should arguably not be its default behavior), and the pathname anchoring is just quirky. tl;dr, from comments and examples, I think you want: Shared*/ !**/Views/Shared*/ So,...
The standard solution for your problem is to move the string into a configuration file and add that file to .gitignore. Also, put a renamed copy of the file into the repository together with explanation about how to use it. The format of the configuration file and the way you...

You don't have to ("propagate this to all sub-folders or even sub-sub-folders within the directory"): A .gitignore rule will be applied to all subfolders, unless another .gitignore rule (in one of the subfolders) override that rule. See Pro Git book gitignore section: Patterns read from a .gitignore file in the...
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 that the file is...
This is working for me: Install hg-git. cd HgFolder hg bookmark -r default master mkdir ../GitFolder cd ../GitFolder git init --bare cd ../HgFolder hg push ../GitFolder Move all files from GitFolder to a '.git' folder (in this GitFolder) and set this folder to hidden (not the subfolders and files). cd...
git add . isn't enough to record the deletion of those file in the index. git add -A . would be better. (See "Difference between “git add -A” and “git add .”") Then commit and push. Other collaborators, by pulling from the remote repo, would pull the deletion of those...
This should be enough: git rm -r --cached auto-save-list/ echo "/auto-save-list/" > .gitignore git add .gitignore git commit -m "Records untracking of /auto-save-list/ folder" No need for '*' If you still need the directory to be there (versioned in the Git repo, even though Git doesn't track an empty folder),...

As far as my knowledge goes, git archive only archives files tracked by git, and .gitignore only ignores untracked files. Hence you will never manage to git archive files that are in your .gitignore. Or what am I missing?
You don't have to modify the .gitignore: you can force the addition of those files: git add --force -- file1 file2 git commit -m "add previously ignored files" git push From git add man page: -f --force Allow adding otherwise ignored files. As Jakub Narębski comments, those files are no...
The question I mentioned in the comments actually answers this scenario; the crucial part is the following: If a directory is excluded, Git will never look at the contents of that directory. Which is just a rephrasing of this snippet from the gitignore documentation, emphasis mine. It is not possible...
You can specify a path starting with the root git directory in .gitignore. So for your example, you could put /project/project in your .gitignore. I'm not sure if there's a way in git to see the repository name and ignore same-names files, but since it seems like you're using a...
Git requires two *'s if you want to (recursively) ignore a whole folder and its contents, to an infinite depth. From the documentation: A trailing "/**" matches everything inside. For example, "abc/**" matches all files inside directory "abc", relative to the location of the .gitignore file, with infinite depth. That...
To diagnose this, run "git status datasources.production.json". If it is untracked, run "git add datasources.production.json" and see if there is a message or error. Commit, and verify that the file is part of that commit. Finally, when you push, you can check the server's commit "git show --stat origin/master" and...
I ended up with this .gitignore: .gitignore **/*.* !*.asm ...
The .gitignore file doesn't mean what you think it means.1 In particular, once you have made a file "known" to git, in that it's in the index, adding that file's name to .gitignore has no effect. Git already tracks the file, and it will continue to track it. In essence,...
Most likely the file .factorypath was added to git before you excluded it in .gitignore. From the gitignore documentation (http://git-scm.com/docs/gitignore): NOTES The purpose of gitignore files is to ensure that certain files not tracked by Git remain untracked. To stop tracking a file that is currently tracked, use git rm...
There are several ways to remove file and directory history from Git: git reset with an appropriate mode (hard, soft, mixed, etc). Interactive rebasing. Using git filter-branch. There could possibly be more methods (I would need to think more about it). Which one you use depends on your situation. Assuming...
A file which is already tracked would not be ignored: you need to remove from the index first. git rm --cached private.xml git add -u . git commit -m "Record deletion of private.xml from the index" (the --cached option make sure the file remains on the disk) Then you can...
Notice: First of all you better take a backup of your git repository, since it always can go wrong badly (the exact behavior of git can depend on all kinds of settings/... so it is not completely predictable what the result of the process will be, so better be...
I initially suggested a solution involving a local modification (updating the index (git update-index) of doc/ files in order to not detect any diff) cd doc git ls-files -z | xargs -0 git update-index --assume-unchanged But, the OP rightly comments: After --assume-unchanged, the files are not included into a commit...
You could create a .gitignore file. This file tells git which file (changes) it should ignore, so they won't appear in git status, git diff etc. call. .gitignore is a simple text file. Just create it in a text editor (or edit it if you already have one), and add...
From the documentation for Git Ignore (emphasis mine): The purpose of gitignore files is to ensure that certain files not tracked by Git remain untracked. To stop tracking a file that is currently tracked, use git rm --cached. Your Xcode Git plugin keeps telling you about the files in question...

As I mentioned in "Including specific file extension in gitignore", the main rule to remember is: It is not possible to re-include a file if a parent directory of that file is excluded. That is why any rule which ignores folders (like * or */) would make excluding any sub-files...

since this is but an automated task, why don't you just simply add only the files you need? Replace git add . with git add config.xml and git will not have to traverse the whole project tree. If you want to show the status of your repo, without the load...
Well you could both use the same version. Like if developer A is using v1 and you're using v0.9, then your app has to ultimately support v0.9 because any new apis beyond this won't work in your development environment. The way I work is to commit everything to git. And...
If you just want to untrack a specific file you can use this command: git rm --cached filename If you want to untrack a lot of new files that you added to your gitignore you can do this: git rm -r --cached . git add . git commit ...
Is it indeed recommended to let git ignore this directory and it's contents, and is Symfony's documentation simply not up-to-date? This is indeed the case. The bin directory is the same as the vendor directory, it depends on your requirements. It should be ignored. Except if you are going...
Gitignore takes it's syntax from fnmatch/glob, which is specified in man glob(7). There doesn't seem to be a way to indicate a certain number of characters need to be matched, like you could with the regular expression dsmodelext[0-9]{0,3}.c You could decide to be lenient and just defined dsmodelext*.c to be...
As Schwern said if you actually still want to use git for releases the best choice is make another branch for releases. The steps can be: In your machine: A-->B-->C-->D -development \ \ `->v1---`->v2 -releases You can then remove the test folder in releases branch git rm myApp/test git commit...
Could it be the case that the file configuration.php is still being tracked by other people? If so, then your remote repository would contain this file and when you go to do a git pull Git would try to bring this file into your local repository. Despite that you have...
Adding org.eclipse.core.resources.prefs will work. However, I'm guessing that you committed the files to your repository already. .gitignore will not ignore files that have already been committed. So, you need to: remove all org.eclipse.core.resources.prefs files from the repo add line to gitignore commit gitignore And all of your prefs files will...
vagrant,ubuntu-14.04,gitignore
The issue is where git will look for the global config in the ssh session: it will be in /home/vagrant.

[email protected]:/vagrant$ git config --global core.excludesfile /home/vagrant/.gitignore_global ...
If you had previously included that file, it will continue to be tracked until you remove it from your repository, even if you list it in a .gitignore. Sounds like that is what is happening here. You can do that with: git rm --cached ImportantDirectory/NotImportantFile Note this will remove the...
obj to ignore all obj folders or files ever. obj/ to ignore all obj folders ever. MyProjects/TED/SourceCode/Presentation/REXI.Web/obj to ignore just that obj folder.

Since empty folders are never committed this amounts to the same as the previous for the most part however...

It's not really clear what types of files you're talking about. In the case of configuration files, I always recommend the following approach: Commit a sample configuration file with sane defaults, e.g. config.sample.ini. Ignore the non-sample file, e.g. config.ini. As part of the "start up" procedure on new machines, the...
If you tracked files and then try to ignore these, you must to stop tracking these files. Untrack a file: git rm --cached <file> Then if you add files like this: git add . or git add -A, .gitignore will work well....
Yes there is a way. From git docs Example to exclude everything except a specific directory foo/bar (note the /* - without the slash, the wildcard would also exclude everything within foo/bar): $ cat .gitignore # exclude everything except directory foo/bar /* !/foo /foo/* !/foo/bar http://git-scm.com/docs/gitignore In your case im...

This is nothing that comes from plain gradle, so I suggest it is some sort of working copy used by the android studio. I definitely would add it to .gitignore. Even better it sounds like an issue in Android studio for me.
One way would be to force add the single file. Once tracked, git will continue tracking the file irrespective of whether it is ignored or not in any of your .gitignore. So simply using the below will work: git add -f parent/child/child-02/file.txt git commit -m "added file.txt" If you really...
This seems like an obscure git bug to me — !directory**/** is an invalid usage of consecutive asterisks as per the manual, but it doesn't state how such invalid rules are handled. The correct rules should be: * !directory/ !directory/** The reason is that * matches all files regardless of...
.gitignore tells git which files (or patterns) it should ignore. It's usually used to avoid committing transient files from your working directory that aren't useful to other collaborators, such as compilation products, temporary files IDEs create, etc. You can find the full details here....
ok nice, try the following gitignore file: # Ignore everything in repository root /* # Files to not ignore !/.gitignore !/some_other_files # Folder to not ignore !/puppet/ The key point is the slash before the *. In your case the * affected also to the files in puppet. So to...
You can’t do that; Git doesn’t track directories at all, and creates them based on the files they contain. The usual solution is to add and track an empty .gitkeep file to each directory. So: Static/Images/* !.gitkeep ...
First, if an ignore rule does not work, you can check this with git check-ignore: git check-ignore -v -- yourFile It will display which ignore rule ignore a file that you thought should not be ignored. Then the main rule to remember when it comes to ignore is: It is...
To ignore changes in a file, use git update-index --assume-unchanged .htaccess This command sets a flag on the file such that Git treats it as if there are no uncommitted changes to the file, regardless of the contents of file your working copy. You need to undo the previous before...
You should use submodule or subtree for that purpose. You can read more about submodules here: http://git-scm.com/docs/git-submodule...
Global (cross-repository) .gitignore settings You can setup a global .gitignore file valid for all Git repositories via the core.excludesfile setting. The setup of this setting is demonstrated in the following code snippet. Create a ~/.gitignore in your user directory cd ~/ touch .gitignore -- Exclude bin and .metadata directories echo...
It sounds like you might want to use a "clean" filter to remove some code from some files automatically. See this stackoverflow posting on setting up smudge and clean filters, and this chapter of the Git book. My general rule of thumb on smudge and clean filters is: avoid them...
You can add something like this, it will work as of git 1.8.2.1 (documentation here) A slash followed by two consecutive asterisks then a slash matches zero or more directories. For example, "a/**/b" matches "a/b", "a/x/b", "a/x/y/b" and so on. # should work master/xyz/**/*.xml The first suggestion you posted won't...
The ignore pattern in your question works as expected for me with Git 2.1.0. I'm not sure why it isn't working for you. Your version of Git is quite old (the source code seems to have been released mid-2012). It is probably worth upgrading to the latest version that is...
A git checkout can delete one of your ignored, untracked files. That could happen if someone else tracked the file in a different branch. Forensics One way to determine whether someone tracked a file they shouldn't have tracked is to run git log with a limit by file name. git...
Only untracked files (not added to Git) can be ignored. Or in other words ignoring is about files which are not known to Git, i.e. are not in the index (have no entry in the staging area). To make a file untracked (removing it from the index, and thus staging...
With a recent enough git version (you must have git 1.8.3.3+), you can use git check-ignore: git check-ignore -v .sqlite That will give you the file and line of the .gitignore responsible for your add not succeeding....
Git’s ignores (be they local or global) only pertain to files that have not been added to the index. Once a file is part of the repository, git will continue tracking changes to it, no matter the current ignore list. You need to remove the file from the index using...
Why can't you simply ignore .env. Thus your .gitignore reads: .env (only one line) It will not ignore anything with the .env extension. Example (console): $ echo 'foo' > .env $ echo 'foobar' > foo.env $ git add .; git commit -am "foobar" [master 49d6a00] foobar 2 files changed, 2...
