Tips
Here are some tips and tricks for working with .gitignore files:
Negating Rules with !
In a .gitignore file, you can use the ! symbol to negate a rule. This means that a file or directory matching the negated rule will be included, even if it matches a previous rule. For example:
# Ignore all .txt files
*.txt
# Except for specific.txt
!specific.txt
Recursive Directory Matching with **/
You can use **/ to match directories recursively. For example:
# Ignore all .log files in any directory
**/*.log
Ignoring Entire Directories
To ignore an entire directory and its contents, use a trailing / like this:
# Ignore the entire "logs" directory
logs/
Using Wildcards *
The * wildcard can be used to match zero or more characters. For example:
# Ignore all .bak files
*.bak
