I think that what you actually want to do is: aaa/* !aaa/ccc You’re telling it “don’t look in aaa” so it never even examines the path aaa/ccc. If you use the wildcard, it still reads the contents of aaa, then each entry matches the wildcard and is ignored, except aaa/ccc which gets put back in.
In the File Explorer, the trick is to call your file .gitignore. and it will remove the ending . A strange behavior but, hey!, it works 😅 Or create it from a text editor…
The .gitignore file in the root directory does apply to all subdirectories. Mine looks like this: .classpath .project .settings/ target/ This is in a multi-module maven project. All the submodules are imported as individual eclipse projects using m2eclipse. I have no further .gitignore files. Indeed, if you look in the gitignore man page: Patterns read … Read more
There is no special git ignore command. Edit a .gitignore file located in the appropriate place within the working copy. You should then add this .gitignore and commit it. Everyone who clones that repo will than have those files ignored. Note that only file names starting with / will be relative to the directory .gitignore … Read more

As of git 1.8.2, this: MyPrject/WebApp/Scripts/special/**/*.js Should work according to this answer. It also works for me in Windows 7 using Sourcetree 1.6.12.0 and the version of git that it installs (1.8.4-preview20130916). To gitignore every file and folder under a directory recursively: MyPrject/WebApp/Scripts/special/**
Just add a pattern to .gitignore .* !/.gitignore Edit: Added the .gitignore file itself (matters if it is not yet commited).
