eclipse git ignore bug workaround

if you want eclipse to use git ignores setup a global git ignore file

$ vi ~/.gitignore or vi ~/.config/git/ignore .buildpath .project .settings


$ git config --global core.excludesfile '~/.gitignore'

$ git config --global --list

$ git config --get-all core.excludesfile

$ git config --global core.excludesfile '~/.config/git/ignore' $ git config --global --list $ git config --get-all core.excludesfile
