Query

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

Output

Okay, to ignore any file named exactly `.KEYFILE` that is located directly inside any directory named `foo`, regardless of where `foo` is located in your project, add the following line to your `.gitignore` file:

1
2
# Ignore .KEYFILE directly inside any directory named foo
**/foo/.KEYFILE
**Explanation:** 1. `**`: This is a globstar pattern. It matches zero or more directories. This allows the rule to find the `foo` directory anywhere in your project structure (at the root, or nested deep within other directories). 2. `/foo/`: This specifically matches a directory named `foo`. The slashes ensure it's treated as a directory path segment. 3. `.KEYFILE`: This matches the exact filename `.KEYFILE`. **Where to put this:** * Add this line to the main `.gitignore` file located in the root directory of your Git repository. This rule will correctly ignore: * `foo/.KEYFILE` * `src/foo/.KEYFILE` * `some/other/path/foo/.KEYFILE` But it will *not* ignore: * `.KEYFILE` (if it's not inside a `foo` directory) * `bar/.KEYFILE` (different parent directory) * `foo/subdir/.KEYFILE` (not *directly* inside `foo`)
