That's exactly what *.gitignore* files are made for. Create a *.gitignore* file in your repository's root and add patterns to it (have a look at the .gitignore reference <http://git-scm.com/docs/gitignore> for infos on how to specify patterns): git will then ignore any file matching any of the patterns. To share that file with the other developers working on that repo, just add it and commit it. Note that it'll work only with the not-already-committed files, so you'll have to untrack/remove any of the build files that are already committed to ignore them. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Git for human beings" group.
