git - gitignore everything except a symlink -
i have following folder structure:
node_modules/ my_symlink_to_lib folder_a/ folder_b/ lib/ (some files here)
i want ignore inside node_modules
except symlink:
# doesn't work node_modules/* !node_modules/my_symlink_to_lib # doesn't work node_modules/* !node_modules/my_symlink_to_lib !node_modules/my_symlink_to_lib/*
i have tried several other stuff, node_modules/my_symlink_to_lib
doesn't end in untracked files.
any ideas?
make sure don't have following in .gitignore_global
file:
# ignores whole folder negation won't work in local .gitignore node_modules
