Git .gitignore to ignore only folder in root directory
Here is my .gitignore
static/
and I have installed git on the folder named project there is a folder named static and another folder called app and inside the app folder, there is another folder static. The above .gitignore ignore both static folders, That is not what I want.
What I want is to ignore the folder project/static/ not the folder project/app/static/ How can I do that?
Just add / before static/, should be like
/static/
# ^ forward slash before the folder name signifies root dir
