How to have specific .gitignore for each git branch

Objective

My objective is to have some production files ignored on specific branches. Git doesn't allow to do it.

Solution

My solution is to make a general .gitignore file and add .gitignore.branch_name files for the branches I want to add specific file exclusion. I'll use post-checkout hook to copy those .gitignore.branch_name in place of .git/info/exclude each time I go to the branch with git checkout branch_name.

Block API Enhancements

As of WordPress 5.8 release, we encourage using block.json file metadata as the canonical way to register block types. We have been working on Block Metadata specification for a few major WordPress releases, and we reached the point where all planned features are in place.

Example:

notice/block.json

{
	"apiVersion": 2,

Adding Elements to the TinyMCE Format Dropdown

On a recent migration project, one of the requirements was to add a few blockquote styles to the TinyMCE dropdown list to match the editorial process of the old CMS. Wordpress provides a filter to add a secondary or tetriary dropdown, but if you only have a couple additional elements, it seems like bad UX to seperate it from the original dropdown.

Going off a tip from Chancey Mathews, I realized that Wordpress does not send a argument for block_formats when initializing TinyMCE, thus relying on the defaults. By adding this argument to the tiny_mce_before_init filter, we can add in our extra elements*:

* Note: since we're overriding the defaults, we need to include the original elements (p, h1-h6..etc)

function mce_formats( $init ) {

jQuery.mf_bind('add',function(){

    if ( typeof tinymce !== 'undefined' ) {
      for ( id in tinyMCEPreInit.mceInit ) {
        init = tinyMCEPreInit.mceInit[id];
        init.selector = "";
        tinymce.init( init );
      }
