Ignore files with names starting with 'output'

Question

Pattern matching doesn’t just work before the extension. Just as much as you can ignore *.txt, you can ignore:

output*.txt

Just add the following to your gitignore:

output*.txt

* is a "wildcard", so it will match anything.

Using * just as in regex matching (or wildcard matching) will do the job. Just provide the entry

output*.txt

into your .gitignore file, and the problem is solved!

if you want to ignore files with starting letters, also you can do with extensions as well

for all extensions

startingFileName*.*

2. files, extensions start with mp letters like mp3,mp4 etc

   starting*.mp*
