Adding a file to .gitignore with a $ in its filename?

How do you .gitignore a file with a $ in its filename?

Does it need to be escaped somehow?

Solution

  • You don't need to escape $

    Add into .gitignore this

    foo$bar

    to ignore foo$bar file

    NB: By the way you should use \ to escape

    foo\$bar

    will work but this is not necessary
