Using SASS with Git, what files do I ignore and how?
css, git, sass
Solution
With `.gitignore`, a single asterisk is only a wildcard for a specific directory. If your git version is up-to-date, you should be able to use the double asterisk to indicate any level of subdirectories.
Single asterisk will only match files for that directories depth
foo/*/* == foo/bar/file.xyz
foo/*/* != foo/bar/dir/file.xyz
foo/*/* != foo/file.xyz
Two asterisks matches any directory depth
foo/** == foo/bar/file.xyz
foo/** == foo/bar/dir/file.xyz
foo/** == foo/file.xyz
For your case, I would suggest trying the following...
**/.sass-cache
**/.sass-cache/*
Lastly, I don't know if it would work, but you might also try...
**.sass-cache**
On this last one, I'm not sure how the double-asterisk would get interpreted. The two lines above this should work fine though.
Problem
I've got a framework in my `/project` directory, where I have multiple `.sass-cache` folders. For example, I could have this ``` /project/-/-/one/.sass-cache ``` And this ``` /project/-/-/two/.sass-cache ``` And this ``` /project/three/.sass-cache ``` And I want to add all of the to .gitignore. I've tried this: ``` # Sass # ########### *.sass-cache* ``` But it fails and git still picks up changes in them. How do I properly add my `.sass-cache` folders to my `.gitignore` file?
