Mercurial .hgignore: Some questions on how to ignore a single file
There's a particular file in my repository, libraries/database.php, that I need ignored. However, I can't get the syntax to recognize the file 开发者_运维技巧- I've tried **/libraries/**/database.php
and libraries/database.php
in glob, and ^.libraries/database.php
in regex, but neither of them work. What should I do?
After hours of following all the suggestions here and others found on the web, I found out that I was always doing it right in .hgignore, but .hgignore will not ignore files that are currently being tracked by mercurial.
You must do
hg forget mydir/myfile.ext
Or adding the file to .hgignore doesn't take affect.
syntax: glob
mydir/myfile.ext
Then the above will work.
syntax: re
^libraries/database\.php$
That will work.
But, frankly, I've always found the .hgignore syntax to be a little obscure myself. I don't really understand what glob will and won't match.
From the mercurial QuickStart guide:
"Mercurial will look for a file named .hgignore in the root of your repository which contains a set of glob patterns and regular expressions to ignore in file paths"
is your .hgignore at the right place ?
So
syntax: glob
libraries/database.php
should work.
