这是另一个遍历目录结构以获得所需内容的示例。注意:我没有排除Library/，而是排除Library/**/*

# .gitignore file
Library/**/*
!Library/Application Support/
!Library/Application Support/Sublime Text 3/
!Library/Application Support/Sublime Text 3/Packages/
!Library/Application Support/Sublime Text 3/Packages/User/
!Library/Application Support/Sublime Text 3/Packages/User/*macro
!Library/Application Support/Sublime Text 3/Packages/User/*snippet
!Library/Application Support/Sublime Text 3/Packages/User/*settings
!Library/Application Support/Sublime Text 3/Packages/User/*keymap
!Library/Application Support/Sublime Text 3/Packages/User/*theme
!Library/Application Support/Sublime Text 3/Packages/User/**/
!Library/Application Support/Sublime Text 3/Packages/User/**/*macro
!Library/Application Support/Sublime Text 3/Packages/User/**/*snippet
!Library/Application Support/Sublime Text 3/Packages/User/**/*settings
!Library/Application Support/Sublime Text 3/Packages/User/**/*keymap
!Library/Application Support/Sublime Text 3/Packages/User/**/*theme

@Chris Johnsen的回答很好，但在Git的新版本(1.8.2或更高版本)中，有一个双星号模式，你可以利用它来获得更简洁的解决方案:

# assuming the root folder you want to ignore is 'application'
application/**/*

# the subfolder(s) you want to track:
!application/language/gr/

这样你就不必“取消忽略”你想要跟踪的子文件夹的父目录。

Git 2.17.0(不知道在这个版本之前有多早。可能回到1.8.2)，使用**模式结合排除法对指向您的文件的每个子目录有效。例如:

# assuming the root folder you want to ignore is 'application'
application/**

# Explicitly track certain content nested in the 'application' folder:
!application/language/
!application/language/gr/
!application/language/gr/** # Example adding all files & folder in the 'gr' folder
!application/language/gr/SomeFile.txt # Example adding specific file in the 'gr' folder

在WordPress中，这帮助了我:

wp-admin/
wp-includes/
/wp-content/*
!wp-content/plugins/
/wp-content/plugins/*
!/wp-content/plugins/plugin-name/
!/wp-content/plugins/plugin-name/*.*
!/wp-content/plugins/plugin-name/**

我的JetBrains IntelliJ IDEA .gitignore配置，在那里我需要排除整个。IDEA文件夹除了。IDEA /runConfigurations:

.idea
!.idea/
.idea/*
!.idea/runConfigurations/

参见:https://github.com/daggerok/gitignore-idea-runConfigurations

我想跟踪jquery生产js文件，这是有效的:

node_modules/*
!node_modules/jquery
node_modules/jquery/*
!node_modules/jquery/dist/*

我发现只有这个可行。

**/node_modules/*
!**/node_modules/keep-dir
