Sublime plugin that excludes from your Sublime project any files ignored by git.
Created as a solution to http://stackoverflow.com/questions/18482976/tell-sublime-text-to-ignore-everything-in-gitignore
Usage instructions:
- Install the plugin via Package Control by following these steps:
- Press CTRL+SHIFT+P (CMD+SHIFT+P on Mac)
- Select "Install Package"
- Search for the Gitignored File Excluder and press Enter.
sublime-gitignorerwill regularly check all your open folders for files that are ignored by Git and update your"file_exclude_patterns"and"folder_exclude_patterns"settings in Sublime to match the list of files and folders ignored by Git.- After you create a new Git-ignored file or update your
.gitignorefiles, the files should be hidden from your project within 5 seconds. - Since the
"file_exclude_patterns"and"folder_exclude_patterns"settings are now being managed programatically, if you want to manually set file or folder exclusion patterns in sublime, you can use the"extra_file_exclude_patterns"and"extra_folder_exclude_patterns"settings. Any file paths you list in here will automatically be included in your"file_exclude_patterns"and"folder_exclude_patterns"in addition to Git-ignored paths. - If you already have
"file_exclude_patterns"or"folder_exclude_patterns"set, there is no need to back them up prior to installing this plugin; they will be automatically migrated to the"extra_file_exclude_patterns"and"extra_folder_exclude_patterns"settings on first launch.
Currently tested on Ubuntu and Windows in Sublime Text 2 and Sublime Text 3. I haven't tested on Mac yet but it should work there too.
