Git Tutorial 8 - .gitignore file Video Lecture | Git Tutorial: What is git / What is version control system? - Software Development

dear friends we are going to talk about
dot get ignore file today I have a git
repository here which has only one
Python file when I run git status I get
a prompt saying that dot idea is
untracked now dot idea is a folder that
my python py charm code editor has
created I don't have any intention of
checking it in into upstream github
repository hence I want to ignore it but
every time when I run git status it just
shows me this file which is kind of
annoying I'm going to ignore this
directory using dot git ignore file
let's first create dot git ignore file
you can say touch dot get ignored or you
can directly create dot ignore file by
Windows Explorer option I create a dot
git ignore file and in this file I'm
going to put dot idea directory once I
do that and save it again run get status
notice that previously it was showing
dot idea as contract directory now here
it is not showing dot idea it's showing
dot ignore file of course because we
added that file as a new file I'm going
to add that into my repository because I
want to check it in ok sometimes you
have a specific file that you want to
ignore for example I have a taste door
3y file which I did it for some local
testing again I don't want to check it
it in into my github repository it will
still show up here so I'm going to add
that particular file here and once I do
that it will no longer show in this list
of untracked files let's run this come
on
see if we went away you can also have
multiple files with the same extension
that you want ignore for example I have
let's say a dot exe and I have B dot exe
then you run git status again those two
show up you want to ignore both of them
you just add a wild-card saying
star dot exe once you do that run git
status and they go away all right you're
getting Noor file can look pretty
extensive it can have all these files I
picked up this example from Google and
you can see here there are so many files
listed it's a sample dot git ignore file
you can also add a command using a hash
sign ok so that was a short tutorial on
dot git ignore file I hope you guys are
having fun learning get get with my
tutorials I will see you in a next
tutorial bye
