notbrain Posted August 9, 2013 Report Share Posted August 9, 2013 I am currently using BTSync to sync github clones on my office machines and home machines. I am wondering if I should ignore .git directories to make syncing less corruption prone. Every once in a while (or when significant time elapses between office visits or vice versa) I always encounter issues where a bunch of files have .!sync.SyncTemp suffixes, or git reports some copies are in conflict for whatever reason.Just looking for a shortcut so I don't need to go find out how git works internally more than I already need to. I have a feeling it would be cleaner to allow each .git dir to maintain each location but wonder what other issues that might create.

jocelyn Posted October 26, 2013 Report Share Posted October 26, 2013 I am wondering, how do you exclude/ignore all ".git" folders in any of the subfolders? I have trouble with this functionality, I tried many time, and this works when btsync first index the folder (initial import), but ... if I add a new .git folder at some point, it will not ignore it. Any idea if this is a known issue, or if I am not using .SyncIgnore correctlyIn my case, let's say I want to ignore all "foobar" folders, I tried with the following .SyncIgnore content foobar*foobar**/foobar*/**\foobar*\* Any help is welcome Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
