无法忽略以前在Git仓库中忽略的文件 [英] Trouble un-ignoring previously ignored files in Git repo

问题描述

我有一个网站有一个 / sites / default / files / 目录，其中通常保留用户内容。考虑到我不需要跟踪这些东西，我将/ sites / default / files /添加到了我的.gitignore文件中。

然后我发现我也想要在该目录中保留一些大多数永久上传。现在跟踪/ sites / default / files /中的所有内容并排除不需要的子目录会更有意义，而不是以相反的方式进行。

问题是Git不会停止忽略该目录。我从.gitignore中删除了指定此目录的行，并且它不会跟踪它。我可以选择使用 git add / sites / default / files / -f 来强制git跟踪目录，但我之前已经完成了，看起来很乱。

如果.gitignore不再指定该目录被忽略，为什么我必须强制Git开始跟踪这些文件？

解决方案

对于后人：我的问题的答案是看得更近。

$ b @twalberg正确指出，在.gitignore文件中可能存在一个我忽略的规则。应用.gitignore规则的级联方式可以更容易地将文件更广泛地排除在预期之外。

据我所知，我对git工作方式的假设是正确的。同样，我的情况似乎并不支持（或反驳）@ J-16 SDiZ对假定 - 不变位可能发挥的作用的评论。

I have a site that has a /sites/default/files/ directory where user content is typically kept. Figuring that I don't need to be tracking this stuff, I added /sites/default/files/ to my .gitignore file.

Then I discovered that I also wanted to keep some mostly-permanent uploads in that directory as well. Now it makes more sense to track everything in /sites/default/files/ and exclude undesirable subdirectories, instead of doing it the other way around.

The problem is that Git won't stop ignoring that directory. I have removed the lines from .gitignore that specify this directory and it won't track it. I have the option to use git add /sites/default/files/ -f to force git to track the directory, but I've done that before and it seems messy.

If .gitignore no longer specifies that directory as ignored, why would I have to force Git to start tracking those files?

解决方案

For posterity: the answer to my problem was "just look closer".

@twalberg pointed out, correctly, that there might be a rule I was overlooking in the .gitignore file. The cascading manner in which the .gitignore rules are applied make it easy to exclude files more broadly than intended.

As far as I can tell, the assumptions I was making about how git works were correct. Similarly, my case doesn't seem to support (or disprove) @J-16 SDiZ 's comments on what role the assume-unchanged bit may play.
