@Bloafer thanks for the suggestion.
Since .DS_Store
starts with a .
it should already be ignored by
# ignore all files starting with . or ~
.*
The OS generated files we specifically ignore are those that do not start with a .
@salcode Since you whitelist some folders (theme, plugins) at the end of the .gitignore
file, the previous ignore-rules get revoked. So, how do you prevent i.e. OS generated files inside those whitelisted folders?
(I had this problem with .DS_Store
files inside my main theme and for a quickfix I ignored that file again at the very end to remove them from git. But that's not very elegant.)
@michelluarasi I'm not able to recreate the behavior you're describing.
For example if I:
- create a whitelisted plugin directory, e.g.
wp-content/plugins/example-plugin/
- add a file like
.DS_Store
inside the plugin directory, e.g.wp-content/plugins/example-plugin/.DS_Store
I still don't see .DS_Store
come up when I run git status
.
Can you describe the steps to reproduce the behavior you're seeing? Thanks.
Still using it in 2023 with WP 6.2! Thanks! Fits in with my workflow wonderfully
@salcode I would also add
