Subversion Global Ignores

If you’re a Mac OS X user running Subversion on the command line and mounting remote disks you may have run into instances where you want to globally ignore ._*, .AppleDouble, and *:2e_* files. To do this simply open your Terminal and edit your ~/.subversion/config file and look for the line below.

#global-ignores = *.o *.lo *.la #*# .*.rej *.rej .*~ *~ .#* .DS_Store

Uncomment it by removing the # and add the necessary additional exclusions and it will now look like this.

global-ignores = *.o *.lo *.la #*# .*.rej *.rej .*~ *~ .#* .DS_Store ._* .AppleDouble *:2e_*

Save it and you’re all set. Now you won’t need to edit your svn:ignore property for every project!

  1. As nobody did yet, I will now: Thank you!
