gitignore file for indexing a running yacs server

What should be smart is being able to index a running YACS archive without interference with GIT tracking version of the files.

one solution with GIT is to include a .gitignore file at the root of the indexed project, witch include set of rules to disabled tracking on some files and/or directories.

This solution follow the project so you share the rules with co-workers.

Here is a proposal of a rules set, that exclude files specific to the server installation and not related to software version.

examples : exclude parameters , images, files ... and many more things.

this is the whole set :

<?php# Ignore htaccess at root level only/.htaccess
# Ignore parametersparameters/
!parameters/index.php
# Ignore images and files sub-folder contentimages/*/
files/*/



# Temporary foldertemporary/
!temporary/index.php
# Inbox folder/inbox
# Scriptsscripts/run_once/scripts/staging/
#bak files*.bak
# Some temporary files from editors*~
*.swp*.svn# OS generated files.DS_Store?ehthumbs.dbIcon?Thumbs.db

with thoses rules you should be able to index a archive while running it into XAMPP for examples. Using GIT branching system, you could jump very fast from one version to another, without managing and storing dozens of folders.
