Comprehensive .stignore for Syncthing
This Gist contains a comprehensive
.stignorefile that can be used with the Syncthing application to specify which files and directories should be ignored during synchronization. The ignore list includes common patterns for temporary files, log files, cache directories, IDE/editor files, version control directories, system-specific files, and more.The
.stignorefile is further organized into separate sections, including specific file types like images, audio/video, font files, archive files, backup files, and configuration/data files. It also includes custom ignore patterns to tailor the synchronization to your specific needs.Additionally, separate sections for Windows-specific directories, Linux-specific directories, and macOS-specific directories are included to cater to different platforms, ensuring that platform-specific files are excluded from syncing accordingly.
By using this comprehensive
.stignorefile, you can fine-tune your Syncthing synchronization to exclude unwanted files, prevent accidental syncing of sensitive data, and improve the overall efficiency of your file synchronization process based on your operating system and specific use case.
