gitignore(5) | ||
============ | ||
|
||
NAME | ||
---- | ||
gitignore - Specifies intentionally untracked files to ignore | ||
|
||
SYNOPSIS | ||
-------- | ||
$GIT_DIR/info/exclude, .gitignore | ||
|
||
DESCRIPTION | ||
----------- | ||
|
||
A `gitignore` file specifies intentionally untracked files that | ||
git should ignore. Each line in a `gitignore` file specifies a | ||
pattern. | ||
|
||
When deciding whether to ignore a path, git normally checks | ||
`gitignore` patterns from multiple sources, with the following | ||
order of precedence: | ||
|
||
* Patterns read from the file specified by the configuration | ||
variable 'core.excludesfile'. | ||
|
||
* Patterns read from `$GIT_DIR/info/exclude`. | ||
|
||
* Patterns read from a `.gitignore` file in the same directory | ||
as the path, or in any parent directory, ordered from the | ||
deepest such file to a file in the root of the repository. | ||
These patterns match relative to the location of the | ||
`.gitignore` file. A project normally includes such | ||
`.gitignore` files in its repository, containing patterns for | ||
files generated as part of the project build. | ||
|
||
The underlying git plumbing tools, such as | ||
gitlink:git-ls-files[1] and gitlink:git-read-tree[1], read | ||
`gitignore` patterns specified by command-line options, or from | ||
files specified by command-line options. Higher-level git | ||
tools, such as gitlink:git-status[1] and gitlink:git-add[1], | ||
use patterns from the sources specified above. | ||
|
||
Patterns have the following format: | ||
|
||
- A blank line matches no files, so it can serve as a separator | ||
for readability. | ||
|
||
- A line starting with # serves as a comment. | ||
|
||
- An optional prefix '!' which negates the pattern; any | ||
matching file excluded by a previous pattern will become | ||
included again. | ||
|
||
- If the pattern does not contain a slash '/', git treats it as | ||
a shell glob pattern and checks for a match against the | ||
pathname without leading directories. | ||
|
||
- Otherwise, git treats the pattern as a shell glob suitable | ||
for consumption by fnmatch(3) with the FNM_PATHNAME flag: | ||
wildcards in the pattern will not match a / in the pathname. | ||
For example, "Documentation/\*.html" matches | ||
"Documentation/git.html" but not | ||
"Documentation/ppc/ppc.html". A leading slash matches the | ||
beginning of the pathname; for example, "/*.c" matches | ||
"cat-file.c" but not "mozilla-sha1/sha1.c". | ||
|
||
An example: | ||
|
||
-------------------------------------------------------------- | ||
$ git-status | ||
[...] | ||
# Untracked files: | ||
[...] | ||
# Documentation/foo.html | ||
# Documentation/gitignore.html | ||
# file.o | ||
# lib.a | ||
# src/internal.o | ||
[...] | ||
$ cat .git/info/exclude | ||
# ignore objects and archives, anywhere in the tree. | ||
*.[oa] | ||
$ cat Documentation/.gitignore | ||
# ignore generated html files, | ||
*.html | ||
# except foo.html which is maintained by hand | ||
!foo.html | ||
$ git-status | ||
[...] | ||
# Untracked files: | ||
[...] | ||
# Documentation/foo.html | ||
[...] | ||
-------------------------------------------------------------- | ||
|
||
Another example: | ||
|
||
-------------------------------------------------------------- | ||
$ cat .gitignore | ||
vmlinux* | ||
$ ls arch/foo/kernel/vm* | ||
arch/foo/kernel/vmlinux.lds.S | ||
$ echo '!/vmlinux*' >arch/foo/kernel/.gitignore | ||
-------------------------------------------------------------- | ||
|
||
The second .gitignore prevents git from ignoring | ||
`arch/foo/kernel/vmlinux.lds.S`. | ||
