WordPress - GitHub Repo .gitignore example

.gitignore

# -----------------------------------------------------------------
#
# By default all files are ignored.  You'll need to whitelist
# any mu-plugins, plugins, or themes you want to include in the repo.
#
# To ignore uncommitted changes in a file that is already tracked, use
# git update-index --assume-unchanged
#
# To stop tracking a file that is currently tracked, use
# git rm --cached
#
# -----------------------------------------------------------------

# ignore everything in the "wp-content" directory, except:
# mu-plugins, plugins, and themes directories

!plugins/
!themes/

# ignore all mu-plugins, plugins, and themes
# unless explicitly whitelisted at the end of this file
mu-plugins/*
