Excluding files from delivery
Hi,
is there a way to decide for specific files in a project that they should not be put under version control? There is an option in the context menu that say add to Jazz.ignore file. Is that the way to do this? Thanks, Ron de Jong |

Hi Ron,
As you rightly guess, the "Add to .jazzignore" action is the way to prevent a file change from being added to a changeset. Currently it's a little crufty: if the file/folder is already part of a changeset, the change will be delivered when the changeset is delivered; but ignored from then on. In M0, if you want to prevent a new file from being added to the repo, the best way is to edit the .jazzignore file by hand. In the file's directory create a file called ".jazzignore". Add the text to it: core.ignore= <filename> where <filename> is the name of the file you will create. Then create the file. You can also ignore a file by DOS-style patterns (ie, using '*' and '?'). Alternatively, if you are creating a directory whose contents should be ignored (such as an output directory), you can just run "Add to ..jazzignore" on the directory as a whole. The ignore functionality is under heavy development. M1 will contain many improvements. e |
