From 4e89ae30edecbbd49d72fb3a04142ca05b46f07e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: kuritka Date: Tue, 7 Dec 2021 16:50:54 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] Adding AllowList for Go MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit **Reasons for making this change:** _Allowlisting with .gitignore is a technique for dealing with source trees that can have various different untracked local files such as generated output, packages installed through package managers, “working” files, config for individual developers, etc. Rather than trying to come up with some master list of all possible untracked files and add them to .gitignore, it can be easier to start by ignoring everything and then add specific directories back._ _I think the requirements for software development are changing and there is a need to offer an alternative to the denylist._ - https://jasonstitt.com/gitignore-whitelisting-patterns - https://github.com/golang/go Signed-off-by: kuritka --- community/Golang/Go.AllowList.gitignore | 23 +++++++++++++++++++++++ 1 file changed, 23 insertions(+) create mode 100644 community/Golang/Go.AllowList.gitignore diff --git a/community/Golang/Go.AllowList.gitignore b/community/Golang/Go.AllowList.gitignore new file mode 100644 index 00000000..a309a018 --- /dev/null +++ b/community/Golang/Go.AllowList.gitignore @@ -0,0 +1,23 @@ +# Allowlisting gitignore template for GO projects prevents us +# from adding various unwanted local files, such as generated +# files, developer configurations or IDE-specific files etc. +# +# Recommended: Go.AllowList.gitignore + +# Ignore everything +* + +# But not these files... +!/.gitignore + +!*.go +!go.sum +!go.mod + +!README.md +!LICENSE + +# !Makefile + +# ...even if they are in subdirectories +!*/
