I have a given extension
directory containing plenty of other directories.
Among those plenty, one particular named important
that I want to be staged by git. The others I don't. So I created a .gitignore
file within my extension
directory with the following content:
*
!README
!.gitignore
!important/**
My goal was saying to Git:
- ignore everything in this directory
- but keep the README file
- and also keep the .gitignore file
- and please, do keep also the
important
directory
But this is not working, only README
and .gitignore
are kept.
The syntax seems the right one to me so... I do not know where I am wrong.
Any suggestion is most welcomed.
