Having both global and local .gitignore [message #1829238]

Hi,

I am using JGit to fetch git status and I have both a global and a folder level .gitignore file.

I can configure exclude file using either one using:

git.getRepository().getConfig().setString("core", null, "excludesFile",
                GLOBAL_GIT_IGNORE_PATH);

How can I make sure both the global and local .gitignore files are considered for filtering files?

Any pointers in this regard is much welcome!

Thanks!
Srini

You don't have to do anything. .gitignore files inside the git working tree are always taken into account.
