I have a project which tree structure looks like this:
+ /Root
- .gitignore
+ - - /Folder A
- - - .gitignore <--- this fellow
+ - - - /bin
- - - - - fileA
+ - - - - fileB
+ - - - /Folder AA
+ - - /FolderB
+ - - - /bin
...
The .gitignore in the root-folder has a lot of rules, among them is to ignore all /bin-folders.
However, in my FolderA I would like everything to stay as it is - all the way down in that folder.
FolderB/bin on the other hand should be ignored.
I know this is possible by adding another .gitignore in FolderA, and let this override the root folder's .gitignore. But I can't remember how.
What should I write in FolderA/.gitignore?
Edit:
In other words: "FolderA is a sacred folder, and must have all files in it stay in it, disregarding what any other .gitignore-files must say"
Solution found:
In the .gitignore file added in the folder needed to be excluded, the following line is added as the only line:
!*/
