Exclude files from source control within Flare?
Posted: Tue Nov 06, 2018 2:29 pm
Is it possible to exclude specific files from source control management (Git/GitHub, in this case) from within Flare? I have a number of files in my project, such as review targets and the TOCs that I use for them, that simply don't need to be in source control.
When I right-click on one of these files, these are all the source control commands I see available to me:
Yes, I know I can edit .gitignore manually. I have already done that, but tracking down exactly which files I want ignored and where they are in the project tree, and then entering them manually without fat-fingering them is just plain a PITA. Flare should have functionality to do this in its UI, and I don't see it. (And yes, I know that letting Flare do this risks it changing anything manually done, but I still would rather do it this way.) So is it there somewhere and I'm just missing it, or it is actually missing?
