Confusing .gitignore syntax
- by tmslnz
I was reading http://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/docs/gitignore.html and the 6 points used to explain the ignore patterns seem to be describing a custom variant of a glob search syntax.
I am more familiar with Mercurial, which allows to explicitly ignore via glob or regex patterns, no questions asked.
Is there anything similar functionality in Git?
Can anyone point me to some more exhaustive reference than the Git man page?
Best,
