2.2.5. 忽略文件

一般我们总会有些文件无需纳入 Git 的管理，也不希望它们总出现在未跟踪文件列表。 通常都是些自动生成的文件，比如日志文件，或者编译过程中创建的临时文件等。 在这种情况下，我们可以创建一个名为 .gitignore 的文件，列出要忽略的文件模式。 来看一个实际的例子：

$ cat .gitignore
*.[oa]
*~

第一行告诉 Git 忽略所有以 .o 或 .a 结尾的文件。一般这类对象文件和存档文件都是编译过程中出现的。 第二行告诉 Git 忽略所有以波浪符（~）结尾的文件，许多文本编辑软件（比如 Emacs）都用这样的文件名保存副本。 此外，你可能还需要忽略 log，tmp 或者 pid 目录，以及自动生成的文档等等。 要养成一开始就设置好 .gitignore 文件的习惯，以免将来误提交这类无用的文件。

文件 .gitignore 的格式规范如下：

• 所有空行或者以 ＃ 开头的行都会被 Git 忽略。
• 可以使用标准的 glob 模式匹配。
• 匹配模式可以以（/）开头防止递归。
• 匹配模式可以以（/）结尾指定目录。
• 要忽略指定模式以外的文件或目录，可以在模式前加上惊叹号（!）取反。
• 所谓的 glob 模式是指 shell 所使用的简化了的正则表达式。
• 星号 * 匹配零个或多个任意字符；
• [abc] 匹配任何一个列在方括号中的字符（这个例子要么匹配一个 a，要么匹配一个 b，要么匹配一个 c）；
• 问号 ? 只匹配一个任意字符；
• 如果在方括号中使用短划线分隔两个字符，表示所有在这两个字符范围内的都可以匹配（比如 [0-9] 表示匹配所有 0 到 9 的数字）。
• 使用两个星号 * 表示匹配任意中间目录，比如a/**/z 可以匹配 a/z, a/b/z 或 a/b/c/z等。

我们再看一个 .gitignore 文件的例子：

# no .a files
*.a

# but do track lib.a, even though you're ignoring .a files above
!lib.a

# only ignore the TODO file in the current directory, not subdir/TODO
/TODO

# ignore all files in the build/ directory
build/

# ignore doc/notes.txt, but not doc/server/arch.txt
doc/*.txt

# ignore all .pdf files in the doc/ directory
doc/**/*.pdf

GitHub 有一个十分详细的针对数十种项目及语言的.gitignore 文件列表，你可以在https://github.com/github/gitignore 找到它.

VisualStudio比较完美的忽略文件 .gitignore
