- Install and navigate to vscode
settings or settings.json page.
- Set
"ignoreit.array": [".env", "*.pem"] to include the files and folders you'd always want to ignore. Feel free to modify it anytime.
- If any of the files or folders specified in the array exists in your project directory,
ignoreit extension will add it to the .gitignore file.
- If
.gitignore file does not exist in your project directory, ignoreit extension will create a .gitignore file and fill in the files you're to ignore.
- The
.gitignore content will be the files in your project directory that corresponds to the ignoreit.array
- You can manually add other files to the
.gitignore file. New files are always appended to the existing ones.
- If
.env file is part of the files in your directory, ignoreit extension will optionally create a .env.example file and fill it with the the truncated contents of your .env file, if "ignoreit.updateEnvExample": true - only variables are filled in, values are left behind. The .env and .env.example files will always be in sync.
- You can use wildcards to specify files ending in certain patterns (example:
"*.pem")
Extension Settings
ignoreit.array should exist as one of the keys in your VSCODE settings.json file, and the value should be an array of the files you wish to automatically add to .gitignore file in all your project (if the files or folders exist in your project). See example below
"ignoreit.array": [".env", "*.pem", "node_modules", "coverage"]
