<code>git-ignore</code> - <span class="man-whatis">Add .gitignore patterns</span>
</p>
<h2 id="SYNOPSIS">SYNOPSIS</h2>
<p><code>git-ignore</code> [&lt;context&gt;] [&lt;pattern&gt; [&lt;pattern&gt;]...]</p>
<h2 id="DESCRIPTION">DESCRIPTION</h2>
<p>Adds the given _pattern_s to a .gitignore file if it doesn't already exist.</p>
<h2 id="OPTIONS">OPTIONS</h2>
<p> &lt;context&gt;</p>
<p> -l, --local</p>
<p> Sets the context to the .gitignore file in the current working directory. (default)</p>
<p> -g, --global</p>
<p> Sets the context to the global gitignore file for the current user.</p>
<p> &lt;pattern&gt;</p>
<p> A space delimited list of patterns to append to the file in context.</p>
<h3 id="PATTERN-FORMAT">PATTERN FORMAT</h3>
<p>Pattern format as described in the git manual</p>
<ul>
<li><p>A blank line matches no files, so it can serve as a separator for readability. To append a blank line use empty quotes "".</p></li>
<li><p>A line starting with # serves as a comment. For example, "# This is a comment"</p></li>
<li><p>An optional prefix ! which negates the pattern; any matching file excluded by a previous pattern will become included again. If a negated pattern matches, this will override lower precedence patterns sources. To use an exclamation ! as command line argument it is best placed between single quotes ''. For example, '!src'</p></li>
<li><p>If the pattern ends with a slash, it is removed for the purpose of the following description, but it would only find a match with a directory. In other words, foo/ will match a directory foo and paths underneath it, but will not match a regular file or a symbolic link foo (this is consistent with the way how pathspec works in general in git).</p></li>
<li><p>If the pattern does not contain a slash /, git treats it as a shell glob pattern and checks for a match against the pathname relative to the location of the .gitignore file (relative to the toplevel of the work tree if not from a .gitignore file).</p></li>
<li><p>Otherwise, git treats the pattern as a shell glob suitable for consumption by <span class="man-ref">fnmatch<span class="s">(3)</span></span> 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" or "tools/perf/Documentation/perf.html".</p></li>
<li><p>A leading slash matches the beginning of the pathname. For example, "/*.c" matches "cat-file.c" but not "mozilla-sha1/sha1.c".</p></li>
</ul>
<h2 id="EXAMPLES">EXAMPLES</h2>
<p> All arguments are optional so calling git-ignore alone will display first the global then the local gitignore files:</p>
<pre><code>$ git ignore
Global gitignore: /home/alice/.gitignore
# Numerous always-ignore extensions
*.diff
*.err
*.orig
*.rej
*.swo
*.swp
*.vi
*~
*.sass-cache
# OS or Editor folders
.DS_Store
.Trashes
._*
Thumbs.db
---------------------------------
Local gitignore: .gitignore
.cache
.project
.settings
.tmproj
nbproject
</code></pre>
<p>If you only want to see the global context use the --global argument (for local use --local):</p>
<pre><code>$ git ignore
Global gitignore: /home/alice/.gitignore
.DS_Store
.Trashes
._*
Thumbs.db
</code></pre>
<p>To quickly append a new pattern to the default/local context simply:</p>
<pre><code>$ git ignore *.log
Adding pattern(s) to: .gitignore
... adding '*.log'
</code></pre>
<p>You can now configure any patterns without ever using an editor, with a context and pattern arguments:
The resulting configuration is also returned for your convenience.</p>
<pre><code>$ git ignore --local "" "# Temporary files" *.tmp "*.log" tmp/* "" "# Files I'd like to keep" '!work' ""
Adding pattern(s) to: .gitignore
... adding ''
... adding '# Temporary files'
... adding 'index.tmp'
... adding '*.log'
... adding 'tmp/*'
... adding ''
... adding '# Files I'd like to keep'
... adding '!work'
... adding ''
Local gitignore: .gitignore
# Temporary files
index.tmp
*.log
# Files I'd like to keep
!work
</code></pre>
