Here is my .gitignore
static/
and I have installed git on the folder named project
there is a folder named static
and another folder called app
and inside the app
folder, there is another folder static
. The above .gitignore
ignore both static folders, That is not what I want.
What I want is to ignore the folder project/static/
not the folder project/app/static/
How can I do that?
If you want to maintain a folder and not the files inside it, just put a ". gitignore" file in the folder with "*" as the content. This file will make Git ignore all content from the repository.
A . gitignore file is a plain text file where each line contains a pattern for files/directories to ignore. Generally, this is placed in the root folder of the repository, and that's what I recommend. However, you can put it in any folder in the repository and you can also have multiple .
Just add /
before static/
, should be like
/static/ # ^ forward slash before the folder name signifies root dir
