How to gitignore files under sub directroies

Question

How to git ignore files under sub directories. We have lots of files which we would like to ignore under sub directories.

(e.g. db/schema.rb or config/database.yml)

Answer 1

you can do something like:

db/schema.rb
db/*
!db/*/

first will ignore the schema.rb The mixture of second and third will ignore all files in db/ but unignore all directories in db/

Answer 2

Try adding

*/*.rb
*/*.yml

to your .gitignore
