.gitignore /folder vs folder/
git, gitignore
Solution
A leading `/` anchors the ignore pattern at the point in the tree where the particular `.gitignore` resides.
A trailing `/` means that a pattern will only match a directory (and so all the files in that matching directory).
You can have both, e.g. `/bin/` will match only a directory called `bin` and only at the level of the `.gitignore` file.
A simple `*.ext` will match any file ending with `.ext` anywhere at or below the level of the `.gitignore` file in which it appears.
Problem
in .gitignore what is the difference between using ``` /bin ``` and ``` bin/ ``` And how would I make it so that it removes a certain file, no matter where it is? ``` */*.ext ```
