Hello,
I have been looking into ignoring a subdirectory of my tree for diffing with
upstream.
I'll explain the situation below :
My tree is a fork of an upstream repo.
There is a specific directory in my tree lets call it foo/bar that i would like
to ignore for diff. This directory includes only files that i added to my repo
and is therefore irrelevant for diffing (i know all files in there have been
added and are not in upstream). Having there in the diff is just making a lot
of files to appear and that is confusing to see what is changed from upstream.
I have read the docs and found a way mentioning that i should add a line to
.gitattributes with :
foo/bar/* -diff
But this still lists the files in there when i'm diffing.
Is there any way to achieve this ? i cant find any clear explanation in the
docs.
Any help would be greatly appreciated :)
Lionel.
