.gitignore does not understand my folder wildcard on windows
- by Martin Aatmaa
I'm encountering a weird issue with .gitignore on Windows.
I want git to ignore all .exe files, except those in the Dependencies folder (and all subfolders).
So I have:
.gitignore:
*.exe
!/Dependencies/**/*.exe
This, unfortunately, does not work.
Meanwhile, this does:
*.exe
!/Dependencies/folder/subfolder/*.exe
So I'm wondering, am I messing something up, or is this some kind of bug?
I'm running msysgit on Windows (Windows 7 x64) version 1.6.5.1-preview20091022
Thanks in advance for any input :)
