I have the following directory layout and want to exclude
dir2 .. dirN
The following arrangement of .gitignore seems to work ok
but I was unable to find docs about the double asterisks.
./.gitignore:
*
*/
!.gitignore
!/dir1/
dir1/.gitignore:
!**
!**/
these two lines seem to be enough to have all subdirectories
within dir1 being included (which is desired) but why?
|-- .gitignore
|-- dir1
| |-- .gitignore
| |-- file1
| |-- subdir1
| | |-- file1
| | `-- subsubdir1
| | |-- file1
| | `-- subsubsubdir1
| | `-- file1
| `-- subdir2
| `-- file1
|-- dir2
| `-- file1
.
.
.
--- dirN
`--file1
git add . says:
....
# Changes to be committed:
# (use "git rm --cached <file>..." to unstage)
#
# new file: .gitignore
# new file: dir1/.gitignore
# new file: dir1/file1
# new file: dir1/subdir1/file1
# new file: dir1/subdir1/subsubdir1/file1
# new file: dir1/subdir1/subsubdir1/subsubsubdir1/file1
# new file: dir1/subdir2/file1
Before discovering this I was playing like this:
!*
!*/
!*/*
!*/*/
and so on.
Greetings,
Konrad
