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:
| # 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`)
