Hi , ALL
I don't understand .gitignore well, how should i make it?
my git version is 1.8.3.1
1. "Trailing spaces are ignored unless they are quoted with backslash ("\")."
seem not always work. *end '/' with or without t**railing spaces will be
differnet, in my test.*
2. in my opinion, why logic of gitignore is so strange? Office
Documentation is not clear:
1) i guess rules of format pattern is take one by one like* if ...:then
... [elif ... : ...]+ else:...* so the last leading slash "*/pattern*" how
to work? logically , before has some *Otherwise, is it strange that some if
after final else? and how pattern to be solved ?my understanding is
fnmatch?*
2) "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)."* i don't
understand it personally, how shell glob pattern work , and how function
parametrs set ?* and then stackoverflow some results
<http://stackoverflow.com/questions/24139478/when-to-use-leading-slash-in-gitignore>
,
i retest it and find this rule will try recursive the directory tree to
find possible pattern matchs. Is the above url's understanding correct?
3) the overall logic seem *strange and unclear* for me personally, it
seems i have to read source code to get all logic.
*I don't feel clear enough neither the big picture nor the details to
design .gitignore. *for example, why we can reinclude subdirectory but not
files...
Sorry for my stupid questions, thanks very much for listening my
complains....
