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

**/foo/**/*.KEYFILE
Here's how this pattern works: * **`**`: This wildcard matches any directory and subdirectory, no matter how deep. * `/foo/`: This specifically targets directories named "foo" anywhere within your project. * `**`: Again, this matches any directory and subdirectory within "foo". * `/*.KEYFILE`: This matches any file named ".KEYFILE" directly within those directories. **Example:** Let's say you have the following directory structure: 
 1
 2
 3
 4
 5
 6
 7
 8
 9
10
MyProject/
  foo/
    bar/
      .KEYFILE
    .KEYFILE
  docs/
    notes.txt
  other/
    foo/
      secret.KEYFILE
This `.gitignore` rule would ignore: * `MyProject/foo/bar/.KEYFILE` * `MyProject/foo/.KEYFILE` * `MyProject/other/foo/secret.KEYFILE` It would not ignore any other files.

**/foo/**/*.KEYFILE
This pattern will ignore: * Any file or directory named `.KEYFILE` * Located anywhere within the `foo` directory * Regardless of how deeply nested `foo` is within your project. **Explanation:** * `**`: This wildcard matches any number of directories (including zero). * `/foo/`: This specifies that the pattern should only match files within a directory named "foo". * `**`: Again, this wildcard matches any number of subdirectories within "foo". * `/*.KEYFILE`: This matches any file named ".KEYFILE" directly within the matched directories. **Example:** This pattern will ignore `.KEYFILE` in all of these locations: * `/foo/.KEYFILE` * `/myproject/foo/.KEYFILE` * `/myproject/foo/bar/baz/.KEYFILE` Let me know if you have any other .gitignore patterns you'd like help with!

**/foo/**/.KEYFILE
Here's how this pattern works: * **`**`:** This wildcard matches any number of directories (including zero). This means it will look for `.KEYFILE` within `foo` no matter where `foo` is located in your project. * **/foo/**:** This specifically targets any directory named "foo" and any subdirectories within it. * **.KEYFILE:** This is the exact filename you want to ignore. **Example:** Let's say you have the following directory structure: 
1
2
3

my-project/
  foo/
    .KEYFILE
    bar/
      .KEYFILE
  other-directory/
    foo/
      .KEYFILE
This `.gitignore` entry will ignore all three instances of `.KEYFILE` because they are all located within a directory named "foo" or its subdirectories.

**/foo/**/*.KEYFILE
This `.gitignore` rule will ignore: * **`**`**: Any level of subdirectories within your repository. * **/foo**: The directory named "foo" at any level. * **/**: Any level of subdirectories within "foo". * **\*.KEYFILE**: Any file with the ".KEYFILE" extension. **Explanation:** * Using `**` ensures that the rule applies recursively to all subfolders. * Placing `foo` after the first `**` ensures that the rule only applies to directories named "foo" and their subdirectories. **Important Considerations:** * **Case Sensitivity:** Git ignore rules can be case-sensitive depending on your operating system. Use `*.[Kk][Ee][Yy][Ff][Ii][Ll][Ee]` for a case-insensitive match. * **Existing Files:** If you've already committed a `.KEYFILE` file, adding it to `.gitignore` won't remove it from your repository's history. You'll need to remove it from Git's tracking and then commit the change. Let me know if you'd like help with removing already tracked files!

**/foo/**/*.KEYFILE
This .gitignore rule will ignore: - **`**/`**: Any directory, at any level of nesting. - **`foo/`**: The specific directory named "foo". - **`**`**: Any subdirectory under "foo", again at any level of nesting. - **`*.KEYFILE`**: Any file with the exact name ".KEYFILE". **Explanation:** - The double asterisk (`**`) is a wildcard that matches zero or more directories. This ensures that the rule applies to files named ".KEYFILE" within any subdirectory of "foo," no matter how deeply nested. - The single asterisk (`*`) is a wildcard that matches any character (except a forward slash). This ensures that the rule applies to files named ".KEYFILE" regardless of any prefix or extension they might have. **Example:** This rule would ignore files like: - `/path/to/foo/.KEYFILE` - `/path/to/foo/bar/.KEYFILE` - `/path/to/foo/sub1/sub2/sub3/.KEYFILE` **Important:** - Make sure to add this line to your `.gitignore` file in the root of your Git repository. - If you've already committed a `.KEYFILE` file, you'll need to remove it from the repository's history before this rule takes effect. You can do this using `git rm --cached` followed by a commit.
