A collection of useful .gitignore templates

Go to file

Tom Ward 6f6fbb0363 Unless full paths are used .gitignore, all matching files and folders will be ignored, however deep they are in the repo. For example, ignoring log/* doesn't just ignore all log files, but also files such as lib/project/log/awesome_logger.rb. It's a mistake I've made a couple of times but never seemed to have learned from.		2010-11-08 23:58:18 -08:00

A Collection of Useful .gitignore Templates

That's what we're trying to build. Please contribute by forking and sending a pull request.

Also please only modify one file per commit. This'll make merging easier for everyone.

Global gitignores (OS-specific, editor-specific) should go into the Global/ directory.

For more information on gitignore: gitignore(5)

Global Ignores

git has a global configuration that applies rules to all of your projects. For example:

git config --global core.excludesfile=~/.global_ignore

... will apply the rules in ~/.global_ignore for all of your repos.

This is useful if you use an editor (like Emacs) that drops backup files, or if you work in an environment that generates binary or intermediate files that are always ignored.
