Git ignore deleted files
delete-file, git, ignore
Solution
Ok Ive found a solution. Simply create a new repo in the sub directories and the parent repo will ignore them.
Problem
I have a website project that has more than 50,000 unimportant files (to development) in some directories. ``` /website.com/files/1.txt /website.com/files/2.txt /website.com/files/3.txt /website.com/files/etc.txt ``` The stuff in /files is already in the repo. I want to delete all the files in /files on my local copy but I want git to ignore it so it doesn't delete them when I do a pull on the web server. Any ideas?
