[racket-dev] How to avoid to modify .gitignore when pull request
I fork the codebase on my local computer. Then I .configure make make install, as a result, there are many compiled things like bin or *.o files. To avoid add them to my commit, I modify .gitignore to ignore them all. But I can't avoid add .gitignore at all, isn't it? So how do you solve this problem? _ Racket Developers list: http://lists.racket-lang.org/dev

Edit .gitgnore and then use git update-index --assume-unchanged .gitignore to tell git to ignore the changes. Revert with git update-index --no-assume-unchanged .gitignore if needed.

If you are doing a git status and only wish to see changes applicable to tracked files: $ git status -uno -- . If you are a Linux commandline type of guy, I like doing commit work using 'tig'.

I suggest building in a build/ directory as described in src/README. There's already a .gitignore directive to ignore that directory. I had a similar confusion a week ago, building Racket for the first time ever, and got an answer on #racket. I was following Joe Gibbs Politz's recent Racket blog post (http://blog.racket-lang.org/2012/11/tutorial-contributing-to-racket.html), which doesn't suggest this. The blog post is otherwise awesome. So awesome that it lulled me into not checking src/README. So I wanted to thank Joe for writing this (seriously it was amazingly helpful), and also suggest he update with this suggestion? Ex: $ cd plt/src $ mkdir build $ cd build $ ../configure $ make Unfortunately I don't have his email, so I hope he'll read this or perhaps someone here can forward this to him. p.s. I also discovered that if you have PLTCOLLECTS set (for example to a release build of Racket), the build's copying collections step copies from _there_. It turns out I didn't need PLTCOLLECTS at all, so I simply deleted that env var. But it was weird. _ Racket Developers list: http://lists.racket-lang.org/dev

One thing that makes this easier is if you use the `plt-fresh-build` script from this git repo: https://github.com/takikawa/racket-dev-goodies If you set your $PLTHOME with the included `plt-alias` bash function, the script will automatically do a clean build of Racket.
