.gitignore: How do I ignore nested directories?

git, gitignore

Solution

You said you want the `Output/` pattern to match only under the `test/` directory, so in the `test/` directory, create a `.gitignore` file with the contents:

Output/

If you put this pattern in your top-level `.gitignore` file, then it will match in all directories under the top directory.

Problem

I have the following directory structure: ``` test/a test/b/c test/a/b/Ouput test/c/d/e/Output test/f/Output ``` I want to ignore all the "Output" directories under "test". I tried `test/**/Output`, but it didn't work. What am I doing wrong?
