Hello there, I believe I have found a behavior that I cannot explain via the manpages https://git-scm.com/docs/gitignore#_pattern_format and https://git-scm.com/docs/gitglossary#Documentation/gitglossary.txt-aiddefpathspecapathspec: For the repo: ``` $ git-ls-files$ (master +) tree . ├── a │ └── schemas │ ├── a_schema.json │ ├── a_schema.yaml │ ├── fema.json │ └── fema.yaml ├── b │ └── schemas │ ├── a_schema.json │ ├── a_schema.yaml │ ├── fema.json │ └── fema.yaml └── schemas ├── a_schema.json ├── a_schema.yaml ├── fema.json └── fema.yaml 5 directories, 12 files ``` and all YAML files committed, I get: ``` git-ls-files$ (master +) git status On branch master Changes to be committed: (use "git restore --staged <file>..." to unstage) new file: .gitignore Untracked files: (use "git add <file>..." to include in what will be committed) a/schemas/a_schema.json a/schemas/fema.json b/schemas/a_schema.json b/schemas/fema.json git-ls-files$ (master +) cat .gitignore **schemas/*.json git-ls-files$ (master +) git ls-files '**schemas/*.yaml' a/schemas/a_schema.yaml a/schemas/fema.yaml b/schemas/a_schema.yaml b/schemas/fema.yaml schemas/a_schema.yaml schemas/fema.yaml git-ls-files$ (master +) git ls-files '**/schemas/*.yaml' a/schemas/a_schema.yaml a/schemas/fema.yaml b/schemas/a_schema.yaml b/schemas/fema.yaml ``` It seems to me that I have to use different pathspec definition in the `.gitignore` file, and different on the commands (and they are "exactly opposite" :/) With regards, Ntentos Stavros
