They should almost always be included, as their purpose is to ignore &quot;output&quot; files (compiled binaries, log files) which are going to be generated by anybody working with a clone of your project. They&#39;re meant to be version-controlled and included with the repository.

You should not use `.gitignore` files within the repository to ignore files that only appear for you, such as editor-specific swap files. You should be placing those rules in a [global `.gitignore` file](http://help.github.com/ignore-files/) so that they apply to all repositories, or in `.git/info/excludes`.

Until now I used [ActiveState][1]&#39;s [ActivePerl][2], and used the ppm for installing modules.

Last week I moved to [Strawberry Perl][3], but I don&#39;t know how I should install modules using Strawberry Perl. What is some information on how module installation is done using Strawberry Perl or is there some link on how to install new modules?

I commit to a git repository for the first time; I then regret the commit and want to revert it.  I try

    # git reset --hard HEAD~1

I get this message:

    fatal: ambiguous argument &#39;HEAD~1&#39;: unknown revision or path not in the working tree.

This commit is the first commit of the repository. Any idea how to undo git&#39;s initial commit?

    https://github.com/intridea/omniauth.git (at master) is not checked out. Please run `bundle install` (Bundler::GitError)


So what do I do? bundle install works on development, but when I push and deploy to my production server. I get this error, even after running bundle install on my production server.

is not checked out... bundle install does NOT fix help!

I have a local Git repository. I would like to make it available on a remote, ssh-enabled, server. How do I do this?

I know how to merge modification using vimdiff, but, assuming I just know that the entire file is good to keep or to throw away, how do I do that? 

I don&#39;t want to open vimdiff for each of them, I change want a command that says &#39;keep local&#39; or &#39;keep remote&#39;.

E.G: I got a merge with files marked as changed because somebody opened it under windows, changing the EOL, and then commited. When merging, I want to just keep my own version and discard his.

I&#39;m also interested in the contrary: I screwed up big time and want to accept the remote file, discarding my changes.

I have pushed some bad code, and I am the only user of the repository. How can I rollback my last commit?


Is there a way to rollback my last push to Git?

I have a structure similar to the following: 

    /root/
    /root/data/
    /root/data/script.php
    /root/data/some.json
    /root/data/feature/one.json
    /root/data/feature/two.json
    /root/data/other-feature/one.json
    /root/data/other-feature/important-script.php

I&#39;d like git to ignore *any* `.json` files under the &#39;/data/...&#39; path, but &#39;/data/&#39; sometimes contains sub-directories. 

My understanding is that a simple `data/*.json` in gitignore will only match one directory, as the `*` doesn&#39;t match `/`, as stated at http://git-scm.com/docs/gitignore, &quot;Pattern Format&quot;, bullet #6: 

&gt;Otherwise, git treats the pattern as a shell glob suitable for consumption by fnmatch(3) with the FNM_PATHNAME flag: wildcards in the pattern will not match a / in the pathname. For example, &quot;Documentation/*.html&quot; matches &quot;Documentation/git.html&quot; but not &quot;Documentation/ppc/ppc.html&quot; or &quot;tools/perf/Documentation/perf.html&quot;.

Is there a simple way to do this, or do I need to actively add gitignore files in each sub-directory, explicitly?


Git-ignore certain files in sub-directories, but not all

I ran &quot;git status&quot; and listed below are some files that were modified/or under the heading &quot;changes not staged for commit&quot;.
It also listed some untracked files that I want to ignore (I have a &quot;.gitignore&quot; file in these directories).

I want to put the modified files in staging so I can commit them.  When I ran &quot;git add .&quot;, it added the modified files AND the files I want to ignore to staging.

How do I add only the modified files and ignore the untracked files if presented with the git status below.

Also, are my &quot;.gitignore&quot; files working properly?


    $ git status
    # On branch addLocation
    # Changes not staged for commit:
    #   (use &quot;git add &lt;file&gt;...&quot; to update what will be committed)
    #   (use &quot;git checkout -- &lt;file&gt;...&quot; to discard changes in working directory)
    #
    #       modified:   someProject/path/domain/viewer/LocationDO.java
    #       modified:   someProject/path/service/ld/LdService.java
    #       modified:   someProject/path/service/ld/LdServiceImpl.java
    #       modified:   someProject/path/web/jsf/viewer/LocationFormAction.java
    #       modified:   someProject/war/WEB-INF/classes/message/viewer/viewer.properties
    #       modified:   someProject/war/page/viewer/searchForm.xhtml
    #
    # Untracked files:
    #   (use &quot;git add &lt;file&gt;...&quot; to include in what will be committed)
    #
    #       .metadata/
    #       someProject/build/
    no changes added to commit (use &quot;git add&quot; and/or &quot;git commit -a&quot;)

What are the differences between `.gitignore` and `.gitkeep`? Are they the same thing with a different name, or do they both serve a different function?

I don&#39;t seem to be able to find much documentation on `.gitkeep`.


What are the differences between .gitignore and .gitkeep?

I have a file (`config.php`), that is already committed to a Git repository, but I want to ignore locally, i.e. I want that file to remain in repository, but force Git to ignore any changes to it.

I put the file into `.gitignore`, but it is still marked as changed and Git still is attempting to commit changes to it, every time I commit something. 

Any ideas, what am I missing or doing wrong?

How to ignore files which are in repository?

I want to set up Git to globally ignore certain files.

I have added a `.gitignore` file to my home directory (`/Users/me/`) and I have added the following line to it:

    *.tmproj

But it is not ignoring this type of files, any idea what I am doing wrong?
