How to i make a gitignore file, nitrous.io


I am using nitrous.io and i would like to push my work to git without some images. but there is no git ignore file. how can i add it?

specifically i want to push without: public/system/courses/images/


Solution

  • Simply create, then add and commit a file .gitignore in the courses folder, with the content:

    images/
    

    (note the trailing '/')

    If images/ folder was already added/committed, delete it (from the git repo, not the disk)

    git rm -r --cached images/
    git add -A .
    git commit -m "Record deletion of images folder"
