Hi, I start with a scenario: contents of working copy: /somefile1 /test/dir1 (directory) /test/dir2 (link to directory) /test/dir3 (link to directory) /test/file1 I want to ignore all subfolders in "test", thus I modified my .gitignore to: /test/*/ > git status Untracked files: test/dir2 test/dir3 Putting "/test/dir3" into .gitignore will work fine. -> It seems that directories are not ignored by a wildcard pattern if the directory is a link using: 2.25.1 on Linux regards Knut
