Updating .gitignore
Ignoring Pants's byproduct files.
If you use Git, we recommend adding these lines to your top-level .gitignore
file:
.gitignore
# Pants workspace files
/.pants.d/
/dist/
/.pids
/.pants.workdir.file_lock*
FYI: your
.gitignore
is used to auto-populate the option pants_ignore
The pants_ignore
option tells Pants which files to avoid looking at. Occasionally, you will want to ignore something with Git, but still want Pants to work on the file. See Troubleshooting / common issues for how to do this.
