Subject: why no "ignore" command on git
Date: Thu, 15 Oct 2009 00:35:23 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <42efdea40910141535g23a50b87p9b6c4a0fde7e842e@mail.gmail.com> (raw)
Hello,
why does git don't have an "ignore" command, to ignore some files or
directories all the time.
In many project file structures you have IDE specified project files
or directories which
should not be tracked on git. All the time git says that you can add
these files, this is not
usable if you want to add many files with the "git add ." command.
I read on some pages by a google search that you can create
a ".gitignore" directory or something like that. But you had to do
this manually.
why there is no "ignore" command on git?
best regards
Ralf
