Nextcloud Client version: 3.4.2
Operating system and version: Fedora 35
Hi,
I use many git repositories from different repos since I collaborate with different people. I want to avoid NextCloud messing with my git repos but I want to have the same repo hierarchy on all my clients (4 different computers running Linux).
I systematically put all my repos in folders ending with the suffix _GIT (e.g., MYSITE_GIT, PATTERNS_GIT …). What I want is to synchronize all the folders named as such, but to keep in them only the files that start by an underscore (in which I store the repo information that then I use to restore in the different clients). So I use the following patterns:
*_GIT/[!_]*
*_GIT/.*
This works but there is a problem: it works only in the root directory. That is it works for say
/MYSITE_GIT/
but not for
/WORK/MYSITE_GIT/
since in the latter case, all the files and subdirectories of MYSITE_GIT are synchronized
The temporary solution I found is to put the pattern
*_GIT/[!_]*
*_GIT/.*
into .sync-exclude.lst file that I copy systematically in all subdirectories. But of course this is no a nice solution. Isn’t there a way to specify that the pattern should be applied at any possible depth, for instance by using a double slash, that is:
//*_GIT/[!_]*
//*_GIT/.*
thank you in advance
