Here's a little extra magic so that you don't even need to be in the root of the repository to create such a temporary file (you'll have to change the readlink invocation if you're on MacOS):
git-ignore-local () {
root=$(git rev-parse --show-toplevel)
path=$(readlink -f "$1")
# ${path#${root}} should suffice if you don't have realpath
relpath=$(relpath -m --relative-to="$root" "$path")
echo "$relpath" >> "${root}.git/info/exclude"
}
Edit: You could also put the function contents as an executable on your PATH called `git-ignore-local` then it becomes something you can invoke as `git ignore-local`.
- jmholla 8mo agoWhoops, there should be a slash after `${root}` in that last line.
- jakub_g 8mo agoFYI: you may want to check `git rev-parse --show-cdup` - in root of the repo, it prints empty string - if you're 1 level deep it prints `../` - if you're 2 levels deep it prints `../../` One minor drawback: inside `.git` subfolder, it always prints empty string too.
