.gitignore file
Published:
To ignore all files larger than 100MB:
find ./* -size +100M | cat >> .gitignore
To ignore all files larger than 100MB but with pathnames not contianing “data” and without repeating already added large file names:
find ./*work*/ -not -path **data** -size +100M | sed 's|^\./||g' | cat >> .gitignore; awk '!NF || !seen[$0]++' .gitignore
An Example .gitignore file with other useful settings:
GNU nano 2.9.3 .gitignore
# Blocklist files/folders in same directory as the .gitignore file
/*
*data/*
*work*/*data*/*
*gh18-work/models/*
*gh18-work/results/*
# Includelist some files
!.gitignore
!README.md
!**.sh
# Ignore all files named .DS_Store or ending with .log
**/.DS_Store
**.log
# Includelist folder/a/b1/ and folder/a/b2/ trailing "/" is optional for folders, may match file though. "/" is NOT
# optional when followed by a *
!*work*/
!*work*/*
# Adding to the above, this also works...
#!/folder/a/deeply /folder/a/deeply/* !/folder/a/deeply/nested /folder/a/deeply/nested/*
#!/folder/a/deeply/nested/subfolder
# Ignore all files larger than 150MB
