Public bug reported: Release: Ubuntu 16.10 Package: qgit Version: 2.6-1
When selecting files to include in a Commit, files are NOT excluded based on the Global Excludes list ## Steps to reproduce * Create a global ignore file as per https://help.github.com/articles /ignoring-files/ $ cat >$HOME/.gitignore_global <<EOF! #ghostwriter backup files *.md.backup EOF! $ git config --global core.excludesfile ~/.gitignore_global * Test the global setting from your local repo folder $ cd my/repo/folder $ touch help/use/markdown.md.backup $ git check-ignore -v --no-index help/use/markdown.md.backup /home/user/.gitignore_global:2:*.md.backup help/use/markdown.md.backup * Open QGit * Settings / Git Config shows the git options (both local and global) including core.excludesfile = /home/user/.gitignore_global * now Edit / Commit and you will see files with extension .md.backup appear in the Commit changes dialog - e.g. file: help/use/markdown.md.backup Index status: Not updated in index ## Workaround * In EACH of your git local repo folders, execute the following cat ~/.gitignore_global >> ./.git/info/exclude Now Open QGit / Edit / Commit and you will see you files are ignored correctly ## Previous Research I checked the launchpad bugs [https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/qgit/] the debian package bugs [https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/pkgreport.cgi?pkg=qgit] and upstream issues tracker [http://libre.tibirna.org/projects/qgit/issues] but could not find anything similar mentioned there. ** Affects: qgit (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1653978 Title: Global Excludes .gitignore is not used To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/qgit/+bug/1653978/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
