Conditional .gitignore for org-mode files

Conditional .gitignore for org-mode files

Hi all,

Sorry in advance, this might be more of a git question than an org-mode
question, but I thought someone on this list might know the answer.

Is it possible to conditionally gitignore certain files based on files
that are being tracked?

What I'd like is something like the following gitignore logic:

if filename.org is tracked by git:
   ignore filename.tex, filename.html

If this isn't possible, does anyone have any nice setups for ignoring
exported versions of org-mode files?

Thanks,
David

Unfortunately, I don't know how to do what you asked, but what I tend to
do in this situation is to run my exports in a build/ subdirectory, and
then add

build*

to my .gitignore.  Maybe that would work for you?

Best,
Richard

The manual of gitignore indicates that gitignore don't handle other
behaviors than pattern matching.

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
man gitignore
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

My workaround is simply to gather org files into a same directory and
add git ignore rules for each kind of generated file.

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
*.html
*.tex
*.ps
*.pdf
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Hope that helps,

Say you add ignore for all generated files like mentioned. That will
cover what you need because you can `git add --force' file patterns
that are on the ignore list.
