Git: how to ignore hidden files / dot files / files with empty file names via .gitignore?
git, gitignore
Solution
If you want to ignore all dotfiles, add this in your .gitignore file (If it doesn't exist, add it)
.*
!.gitignore
Problem
These files should all be ignored: ``` .weirdBackupFileType .travis.yml ``` The following files should not be ignored: ``` _.weirdBackupFileType Z.travis.yml ```
