I am wondering how to exclude specific files' type in git. For example: I am writing code under a directory using TypeScript. Files are getting rendered to .js extension. I have some other directories with .js files that I would like to commit. But, for example, in folder common I would like to to have all compiled files excluded from git tracking. I don't wanna to see them in a console. How can I achieve this goal?

    Show us what you have tried. Am surprised you have not researched hard enough to read up on [gitignore](https://git-scm.com/docs/gitignore) – t0mm13b May 30 '17 at 16:31

  • I have added `*.js` in .gitignore file but still displaing `js` extension file in `git status` comment. Any other solution? Thanks. – Kamlesh Jun 24 '21 at 16:50

You can create a .gitignore file at common/.gitignore and then add this rule, this will omit all .js files within your common directory:

*.js
