Creating the Git ignore file
If you are using Git—the most popular distributed version control system—ignoring some files and folders from version control is much easier than with Subversion.
Getting ready
Make sure that your Django project is under the Git version control.
How to do it…
Using your favorite text editor, create a .gitignore file at the root of your Django project and put these files and directories there, as follows:
# .gitignore # Project files and directories /myproject/local_settings.py /myproject/static/ /myproject/tmp/ /myproject/media/ # Byte-compiled / optimized / DLL files __pycache__/ *.py[cod] *$py.class # C extensions *.so # PyInstaller *.manifest *.spec # Installer logs pip-log.txt pip-delete-this-directory.txt # Unit test ...Get Django: Web Development with Python now with the O’Reilly learning platform.
