Thread: [PATCH] Addition of JetBrains project directory to .gitignore
This patch simply adds “.idea/“ to the list of global excludes across all subdirectories. This directory is created whena JetBrains IDE is used to open a project. In my specific case, Clion is creating the project directory. The ONLY change in the patch is the “.idea/“ addition to .gitignore. David Nedrow dnedrow@me.com

This seems like something better suited in a local gitignore for those who use Jetbrains products. See the documentation for ~/.gitignore_global. cheers ./daniel

Wouldn’t this fallinto the same category? Not really, the files in the current .gitignore are artifacts of the build- system which is provided by the postgres tree (MSVC building, gcov etc); there are no editor specific files ignored there. cheers ./daniel

Yeah, we already have a policy that we won't add entries for, say,
editor backup files. This seems like the same thing. It's stuff
generated by a tool you use, and you'd need it for any project
you work on, so a personal ~/.gitexclude seems like the answer.
(Roughly speaking, I think the project policy is/should be that only
junk files created by application of build rules in our Makefiles
should be excluded by our own .gitexclude files.)
As a point of reference, I have
$ cat ~/.gitexclude
*~
*.orig
to suppress emacs backup files and patch backup files respectively.
Somebody who prefers another editor would have no use for *~.

Got it, and that makes sense. I hereby withdraw this patch. ;) - David > On Dec 3, 2019, at 10:08, Tom Lane <tgl@sss.pgh.pa.us> wrote: > > Daniel Gustafsson <daniel@yesql.se> writes: >>>> On 3 Dec 2019, at 15:47, David Nedrow <dnedrow@me.com> wrote: >>> This patch simply adds “.idea/“ to the list of global excludes across all subdirectories.

Here are extra entries I use for example: # Files created by vim for unsaved changes .*.swp # Files created by emacs for unsaved changes .#* # Temporary files created during compilation *.o-* # Tags generated by etags or ctags TAGS tags # Files created by ./configure conftest.c conftest.err confdefs.h -- Michael
