# `.gitignore`

Create a `.gitignore` file in your root directory

## Ignoring single files

**Must specify filename and extension**

```bash

example.txt

```

## Keeping single files

```bash

!example.txt

```

## Multiple files with the same extension

```bash

*.txt

```

## Multiple files with the same name

```bash

example*

```

## Folders

```bash

examples/

```

## Files inside of folders

**You can apply the same techniques for multiple files inside the root directory**

```bash

examples/example.txt

```

## Everything inside of a folder except for some files

**When first ignoring the whole folder, you must have a star at the end.**

**The star means you are ignoring the files in the folder, while not having a star means that you are ignoring the whole folder**

```bash

examples/*

!examples/example.txt

```

## Ignoring files in every directory

**This ignores all files named example.txt in every folder. You can use the same techniques for ignoring specific names or extensions with this syntax as well.**

```bash

**/example.txt

```

## Ignoring files only in the root directory

**Must include a slash in the beginning**

```bash

/example.txt

```

## Matching many characters

**This ignores files named `Example.txt` and `example.txt`. You can match against as many characters as you like at once.**

```bash

[Ee]xample.txt

```
