Why is .gitignore not including a file prefixed by a !
My .gitignore file 开发者_JAVA百科reads as follows:
build/
glucosia.xcodeproj/
!glucosia.xcodeproj/project.pbxproj
core-plot/framework/build
core-plot/framework/CorePlot-CocoaTouch.xcodeproj/
!core-plot/framework/CorePlot-CocoaTouch.xcodeproj/project.pbxproj
.DS_Store
Classes/.DS_Store
Strangely, glucosia.xcodeproj/project.pbxproj
is not ignored, as I would expect.
But, core-plot/framework/CorePlot-CocoaTouch.xcodeproj/project.pbxproj
is still being ignored.
Any ideas?
Thanks!
As mentioned in the gitignore
man page:
A
gitignore
file specifies intentionally untracked files that git should ignore
If glucosia.xcodeproj/project.pbxproj
(as suggested by Alan in the comments) is already tracked, you need to remove it from the cache, and then the gitingore directive will take effect.
git rm --cached glucosia.xcodeproj/project.pbxproj
If the file was already committed, see this SO answer (git commit --amend
to remove it from the latest commit)
I had the same problem, but a different solution. If you ignore a directory but not a file within it, it will not work. You have to ignore a directory's files.
This doesn't work:
conf/
!conf/config.json.orig
This will work:
conf/*
!conf/config.json.orig
