I usually keep my configuration files under a directory named config
but I don’t want these config files to be tracked by git. However, I do place a sample configuration file which I wish to be tracked by git. Normally, I name these sample configuration files as config.sample.yaml
or config.sample.yaml
. If there is only one config
directory that I work, then this problem can be easily solved by placing another .gitignore
file inside config
dir, but I have multiple config
dirs across my project and adding .gitignore
in each of those directories and managing them seems like a really irritating way to do it.
I can achieve what I want by configuring .gitignore
in the root of my project directory like this.
**/config/**/*.yaml **/config/**/*.json !**/config/**/*.sample.yaml !**/config/**/*.sample.json
