I want to ignore everything from "Assets" folder except "xmutarn.js" file, so I tried on .gitignore:
!assets/script/xmutarn.js /assets
But it doesn’t work, how can I fix it?
My . gitignore this so:
## Files to ignore
*.gitignore
*.bak
## Archives to ignore
changelog*
/index.php
## Folders to ignore
.idea/
sys/session
assets/
!assets/script/xmutarn.js

I didn’t understand the /assets at the end of:
!assets/script/xmutarn.js /assets
The exclamation sign means "denial" ! ie the file on the line will not be ignored. I believe that to ignore the contents of the briefcase assets would be something like:
assets/*
If you do so you will ignore the whole folder (correct me if I’m wrong):
assets/
So it should stay that way:
assets/*
!assets/script/xmutarn.js
Another detail, as the @Danielgomes found in the Soen it is necessary to add !*/ whenever it comes to sub-directories, apparently it does not need to be at the end as said in https://stackoverflow.com/a/9227991/1518921 and https://stackoverflow.com/a/8025106/1518921
Basically, first we make a Blacklist and then a Whitelist
The whole code should look something like:
## Files to ignore
*.gitignore
*.bak
## Archives to ignore
changelog*
/index.php
## Folders to ignore
.idea/
sys/session
assets/*
#Whitelist a seguir
!*/
!assets/script/xmutarn.js
If it doesn’t work, there’s a detail, it may be that when using like this assets/* it force ignore the folders also in case the folder ./assets/script, then you can try to make the rules for each folder within ./assets instead of the whole folder.
I’ve tried everything for that /Assets at the end, but it doesn’t work at all, I tested with other folders and it works, except with the Assets folder
But exactly what happens, does he ignore all the files, or is he ignoring none? @Vinicius
Ignoring all and the one that is not to ignore it ignores too, but can leave solved otherwise, only not very productive, ignoring the folders and the files inside the script folder
@Very strange Vinicius work with all folders except with the folder assets/ - suggestion: include your .gitignore complete in question.
@Vinicius It is not because you have solved otherwise that your doubt will not serve other people, it does not cost to keep trying when you have a while, tomorrow install the git and I will test. See you tomorrow.
@Danielgomes also found it strange, probably he added something else that was not mentioned here.
I added everything that is in my . gitignore although when I put ## it turns into title
@Vinicius but I said to use assets/ will ignore the whole directory and what the correct one is assets/*, see in the answer how was the whole code.
Still not working, with no file from Assets folder
Look at the stack pop, @Guilhermenascimento...

Please place the code here and not in an image. Because you have a space after the file name?

Good afternoon Vinicius, don’t post code photos, if it’s code just copy it here, so it makes it easier for people to debug exactly the way you did. Using code photos would only work if everyone had an OCR software, so avoid unless it is something pertinent to the IDE you are using, which is not the case.
