Ignoring directories in Git repos on Windows
My web app has the following directory layout:
myapp/ .gitignore .git/ ... static/ mytest.txt fgs.ico ledgerware/ static/ mytest.txt fgs.ico ... I'd like to edit existing myapp/.gitignore file so that when git push it ignores all files inside myapp/ledgerware/static folder, but NOT myapp/static folder. Can someone help me with this?
