SVN ignore like .gitignore

Question

In Git, if I have a project with lots of projects inside, let\'s suppose, a lot of Java projects, I can just create a .gitignore file in the root and it will \"be r

Answer 1

You can use svn:ignore. You generally need to tell SVN to apply special properties to the files:

svn propset svn:ignore "*.jpg" .

(Note the dot at the end of the command.)

For multiple files you can add a newline character.

Type exactly like here with line breaks:

svn propset svn:ignore "file1
file2
file3" dir1

Check that the files are ignored:

svn status --no-ignore

Then commit the code.

And yes, many duplicate questions are already available.

You can refer my favorite svn cheatguide.

You can create a file, svn-ignore.txt, with your ignored files and directories:

*.class
*.jar
*.war
*.ear
 target/
.classpath
.settings/
.project
.metadata
 bin/

Now try the following:

svn propset svn:ignore -RF /root/svn-ignore.txt . [dot for current dir]

-R is for recursive.
