In Git, every line of the file .gitignore is a regular expression that describes files that should be ignored. However, one can also add lines that state which files not to ignore.
Example:
The following example shows a configuration that ignores everything in a particular directory (./tmp) but explicitly states that PDF files in ./tmp should not be ignored:
|
1 2 3 4 5 |
# Ignore everything in ./tmp ... /tmp/* # ... but do not ignore PDF files in ./tmp !/tmp/*.pdf |
