The Plastic equivalent of .gitignore is ignore.conf

Posted by jpluimers on 2018/07/26

A while ago, I landed a place using Plastic SCM, so I had to adopt some idiom from the git world.

The [WayBack] .gitignore equivalent in Pastic SCM is ignore.conf. Here are some links to documentation on it:

There is another file with a similar, but deceptively different name and behaviour: hidden_changes.conf. There ignore.conf ignores changes, hidden_changes.conf completely hides them. I am still not sure what subtleties are involved in the difference between “ignore” and “hide”, as the documentation is confusing and hidden_changes.conf can also appear in the root of a repository:

hidden_changes.conf Contains the paths of the controlled files to hide from the Pending changes view. The hidden changes are controlled items that can be changed but the user doesn’t want them to appear by default on the Pending changes view.

This config file is located in the plastic4 directory (under $HOME/.plastic4 on Linux/Mac systems or C:\Users\user\AppData\Local\plastic4 on Windows), in the root directory of the workspace, or in the plastic-global-config repository so that all clients have the same settings by default.

Learn about how to configure the hidden changes list.
ignore.conf Contains the paths of the private files to be ignored in the Pending changes view. The ignored files are files that you have no intention of placing under source control.

This config file is placed at the root directory of the workspace, or in the plastic-global-config repository so that all clients have the same settings by default.

Learn about how to configure the ignored list.

These configuration files are supported:

Important: These are the files that can be globally configured:

So I based mine on Tortoise SVN Global Ignore Pattern for Delphi and Visual Studio containing at least these:

*.identcache
*.local
*.dcu
*.rsm
*.bak
*.~*
*.tvsconfig
__history
__recovery
ModelSupport_*
