I have a directory structure like this:
project
├── .gitignore
└── parent
└── file.ts
Gitignore file content:
parent/*
!file.ts
Git does ignore everything under parent but file.ts which is weird because i did not exclude file.ts in parent dir in my .gitignore file.
What might be reason?
In gitignore, entries without a / mean all files in any directory.
This, file.ts matches all files named file.ts in any directories.
If you only want to exclude a file.ts on the top directory (where the .gitignore is) then use ./file.ts.
