Ignore files & folders

mudstack allows you and your team to ignore specific paths, folders, files by creating and editing the .mudignore file.

To use mudignore, create a text file in the root folder of a workspace and set the name to .mudignore. The extension for the file is .mudignore and the name is empty.

If there is no .mudignore file, we will return to the default list of files to ignore.

By default, here is what we ignore:

# folders to ignore
/.mudstack
.git
.godot
#
# files to ignore
.gitconfig
.gitignore
.place-holder
.DS_Store
*.lock
*.painter_lock
*.assbin
*.temp
*.tmp
*.blend1
*.pyc

Patterns in mudignore

Each line is a rule

Blank Line matches nothing

Comments must start with #

Quote any rules that would include spaces “folder name/file name.txt”

! includes what should be excluded. If there is a rule *.txt , !item.txt will include any .txt files with the name “item”.

/ is a separator for directories.

Leading separators like /item searches for “item” from the root folder. The results include both files and folders.

Separators after a term like item/ searches for a folder “item”.

Build a folder path with separators like /folder1/folder2/file.

* matches every character except /.

? matches one character except /.

Range notation [a-zA-Z] will match one of the characters in a name.

/** matches everything inside a folder like folder/**.

**/ matches zero or more directories. a/**/b matches a/b, a/x/b, a/x/y/b and so on.

Additional * are considered regular asterisks and will match according to the previous rules.

Pushing and pulling mudignore

.mudignore works exactly like other files when you push or pull changes. It has it’s own version history, so all version actions are available to you.
