Some git tips to survive in versioning world - Part 1

Git

I am gonna talk about Git. We all somehow use git and thus it is important for us to better use .gitignore.

How to allow only certain files of a repository on git commit?

To deny all and allow few, we can use “!”.

# Ignore all with * and ! to not to ignore /
*
!/
# Allow only NewFolder and it's contents
!NewFolder
!NewFolder/*

Remember to change the “.gitignore” file before committing all the files.
