Create a gitignore

I'm jotting it down so as not to forget how to create a .gitignore later on

1. cd into your projects root directory

2. Create .gitignore file

touch .gitignore

3. Write it down using .gitignore patterns

ex)

  • To exclude all files ending in .log

    *.log
  • To exclude any file names that contain .log

    *.log*
  • To exclude all files in a specific path

    /Build/*

+

If you create a .gitignore when in use

git rm -r --cached .

git add .

git commit -m "git ignore add"

git push

.gitignore example

*.bash_history

*.gitconfig

*.python_history

.c9/

.cache/

.local/
