I have a file in templates directory called ingress.yaml.ignore that I'd like to preserve for informative reasons. How can I exclude it, so it won't be picked during installation?
I had to add *.ignore pattern to .helmignore file. Check Helm's .helmignore docs for more details.

We have an internal discussion going here and we are somewhat torn on the best practice for using .gitignore on projects that contain a lot of files (like a CMS).
Method 1
Method 1 would be to purposefully .gitignore all files that come standard with your build. That would generally start like:
# ignore everything in the root except the "wp-content" directory.
!wp-content/
# ignore everything in the "wp-content" directory, except:
# "mu-plugins", "plugins", "themes" directory
wp-content/*
!wp-content/mu-plugins/
!wp-content/plugins/
!wp-content/themes/
# ignore these plugins
wp-content/plugins/hello.php
# ignore specific themes
wp-content/themes/twenty*/
# ignore node dependency directories
node_modules/
# ignore log files and databases
*.log
*.sql
*.sqlite
Some staff members like this approach since if you create something outside of the standard files, for example like a /build folder, then it would automatically be detected for inclusion. However, writing custom theming and plugins require you to add a few layers to this file to "step in" to the folders you want to keep, and generally, the file is a bit messier to read.
Method 2
Method 2 ignores everything, and then you whitelist what you want in the repo. That would look like
# Ignore everything, but all to descend into subdirectories
*
!*/
# root files
!/.gitignore
!/.htaccess.live
!/favicon.ico
!/robots.txt
# theme
!/wp-content/themes/mytheme/**
/wp-content/themes/mytheme/style.css # Ignore Compiled CSS
/wp-content/themes/mytheme/js # Ignore Compiled JS
# plugins
!/wp-content/plugins/my-plugin/**
# deployment resources
!/build/**
Some staff like this since it's cleaner, you have to purposefully add something (which makes accidental adds harder), and it also in effect shows you your .git folder structure.
What is the best practice? Which method do you enjoy and would you recommend doing one over the other?
The second method is the best practice, when it comes to exlude some folder contents of gitignore rules.
It better reflect the following rule:
It is not possible to re-include a file if a parent directory of that file is excluded.
To exclude files (or all files) from a subfolder of an ignored folder f, you would do:
f/**
!f/**/
!f/a/sub/folder/someFile.txt
Meaning: you need to whitelist folders first, before being able to exclude from gitignore files.
It is clearer, shorter (unless you have a large number of folder to whitelist)
What if it is a Joomla install with a large amount of directories and files?
Or what if a core upgrade adds new files or folders
Don't forget you can have multiple gitignore files, one per folder.
That means you can mix and match both approaches.
And you have:
http://gitignore.io/ (which does blacklist when it comes to Joomla application)
github/gitignore (same approach for Joomla)
The ideal .gitignore file, is the one that does not exist.
For some reason, you're deeply intermingling files you want to track via source control, with files you DON'T want to track.
This, I think, is the source of your sadness.
You are mixing git's intended purpose, which is versioning of programmer-edited files, with deployment, which is intended to get the files where they belong in the correct directories.
Your question is not clear, as to whether you think the Wordpress core files should be versioned. I'm assuming not, since that's how you've set up your .gitignore.
Your question is also not clear, as to whether you are deploying a web site, or shipping plugins as a product. Those are both different use cases, and they require different types of versioning. If this is a deployed web site, you SHOULD be versioning Wordpress along with everything else. If you are shipping a plugin or a theme, then you should have a test suite of plenty of different Wordpress versions to test against.
I think your source control system should be set up, solely to track just the plugins/* and/or themes/* files that go into your distribution. Zipping that folder should give you the plugin asset that your customers download.
To debug your plugins, there should be a deploy step in your IDE that copies each of those tracked files, into a Wordpress install at a location you choose. This permits you to more easily test against different Wordpress versions.
You're reducing workflow problems, to trying to choose a .gitignore. Fix the problem at the root by getting the workflow right.
I am currently working on changing our codebase to use Nuget. As part of the process the copying of ressources to the output directory should be moved from postbuild events in the projects to the files tag in the .nuspec file.
For the particular project the ressource was called Resources.resx and is renamed to something more specific during the copy (yes I know great programming - not mine and not my place to change it).
Is it possible to change the filename using the file node in nuspec or do I need to keep a postbuild in this case?
My attemp of renaming it with the target property fails:
< file src="foo/bar.resx" target="foo/foobar.resx"/>
creates the following output:
"foo/foobar.resx/bar.rex"
I found a familiar problem on github but it was rejected due to being posted on a dead branch and not trying to rename a file but change its type.

Thanks for the help
This functionality is not built into NuGet. The only conceivable way to do this would be to implement a powershell script (install.ps1) that would handle the rename of both the file and the csproj.
Late to the party, but this looks like it could work:
From: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/nuget/reference/nuspec
Renaming a content file in the package
Source file:
ie\css\style.css
.nuspec entry:
<file src="ie\css\style.css" target="Content\css\ie.css" />
Packaged result:
content\css\ie.css
Edit:
I found this post (https://stackoverflow.com/a/45601252/182888) where it says:
Note: The File extension in src and target must match or the specified target will be treated like a directory.
So keep that in mind or it might trip you up.
i have a problem with my .yml rules. I can include them into my project, he does get the custom rules, but I cannot show them in sonarqube, because he says he does not know the rules.
can anyone help me?
my .swiftlint.yml file is in the homedirectory and I only run the run-sonar-swift.sh with swiftlint, tailor and lizard.
Thanks a lot.
To have your .yml files analyzed, you need to install an analyzer that handles that language. I'm not currently aware of any such plugin.
When creating RPM packages: How do I tell CPack to treat a file as config file so it won't get overridden when updating the RPM?
The %config directive is used in rpm-spec for that case. Is there something like this in CPack?
As of now, files specified with an absolute path will get marked with %config, files with a relative path are marked as 'normal' files.
A quick look at what appears to be the CPack documentation doesn't show me anything that looks like it is directly relevant or helpful here.
However, if you are using a new enough version of CMake (2.8.1+ it looks like) or apply the patch yourself it looks like you can manually specify the spec file to build by using CPACK_RPM_USER_BINARY_SPECFILE.
I have a problem with my development workflow and Sphinx. I want to keep configuration file for Sphinx in version control so it's easier to manage. This means it's easier to link the file to code updates, etc ... However, the configuration file is stored in /usr/local/etc.
There are two solutions I can think of. Store the file in the repository and move it to the correct folder on deployment or recompile Sphinx to look for the file in my repository. I had a suggestion from someone to use a symlink, but that still requires a change on deployment.
Is there an elegant solution in Sphinx I'm missing?
perhaps have the /usr/local/etc/sphinx.conf file be a script that pulls the actual sphinx config from the file in your repo.
http://sphinxsearch.com/docs/current.html#rel098 scroll down to general and you'll see:
"added scripting (shebang syntax) support to config files (example: #!/usr/bin/php in the first line)"
