Background

Git is straight forward.

And, usually out of the way.

 

Exclude Files

As you develop applications, you may find out that you do not need to store away the binary files produced by your application.

Depending on your programming language, the file extensions will vary.

For example:-

1. C, C++, C#
   • Object File ( .obj )
   • Dynamic Link Library ( .dll )
   • Executable ( .exe )

 

Git

File

.gitignore

In git, the exclusion list is kept in the .gitignore file.

IDE

Microsoft Visual Studio

Extension – Integration Services

Syntax

git status -u 

Sample

git status -u | find "/sales" | findstr "obj ispac"

 

Output

Output – Image

For instance, for someone using the Integration Services Extension in Visual Studio, here are some of the folders and extensions to target.
