gitignore any file called .KEYFILE anywhere under a directory foo, which itself is anywhere

Output

To create a gitignore rule that ignores any file called `.KEYFILE` under any directory named `foo`, where the `foo` directory itself can be located anywhere in the repository, you would use this pattern:

1
**/foo/**/.KEYFILE
This pattern breaks down as: - `**` - Match any directory depth (including zero) - `/foo/` - Match a directory named exactly "foo" - `**` - Match any directory depth under foo (including zero) - `.KEYFILE` - Match the file named exactly ".KEYFILE" This will ignore `.KEYFILE` in locations like: - `/foo/.KEYFILE` - `/path/to/foo/.KEYFILE` - `/foo/subdir/.KEYFILE` - `/path/to/foo/deep/nested/subdirs/.KEYFILE`

Substring Evaluation

Testing if the previous output contains the string **/foo/**/.KEYFILE: True

# .gitignore Pattern for .KEYFILE in foo Directories To ignore any file named `.KEYFILE` that appears anywhere under any directory named `foo` (regardless of where the `foo` directory itself is located in your repository), add this line to your `.gitignore` file:

1
**/foo/**/.KEYFILE
## Explanation: - `**/` matches any directory at any level in your repository - `foo/` matches specifically a directory named "foo" - `**/` matches any subdirectory path under "foo" (at any depth) - `.KEYFILE` matches the specific filename This pattern will ignore the `.KEYFILE` file in scenarios like: - `/foo/.KEYFILE` - `/foo/bar/.KEYFILE` - `/some/path/foo/.KEYFILE` - `/any/depth/foo/any/subdirectory/.KEYFILE`
