lets create a new git repo $ mkdir testRepo $ cd testRepo $ mkdir dirWithOnlyIgnoredFiles $ touch dirWithOnlyIgnoredFiles/foo.log $ touch test.txt $ touch main.log $ git init
now lets ignore the log files $ echo '*.log' > .gitignore stage all non-ignored files and creat a commit $ git add . $ git commit -m 'foo' now lets list the ignore files $ git status --ignored # On branch master # Ignored files: # (use "git add -f <file>..." to include in what will be committed) # # main.log nothing to commit (working directory clean) Note the the log file in the 'dirWithOnlyIgnoredFiles' is *not* listed, although I would presume that it is indeed an ignored file. What happened here? Note that after adding a file into the folder that is tracked, then the log suddenly does show up $ touch dirWithOnlyIgnoredFiles/test.txt $ git add . $ git commit -m 'add a file' $ git status --ignored # On branch master # Ignored files: # (use "git add -f <file>..." to include in what will be committed) # # dirWithOnlyIgnoredFiles/foo.log # main.log nothing to commit (working directory clean) with kind regards, jeroen -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Git for human beings" group.
