Ignoring .gitignore and .gitkeep files

[Mike Ray]

Hello

I often have both .gitignore and .gitkeep files dotted throughout my
pages and posts tree in my Nikola sites.

At the moment I am working on a site where I have some .gitkeep files in
my listings tree.

Nikola tries to render these files, and creates a .gitkeep.html file.

How can I make Nikola ignore some files it finds?

Mike

There is currently no way to do this. Nikola has a few filenames it
will ignore, but it’s not possible to extend this list. I would
recommend not storing those files in your listings folder — you can
use global .gitignore/.gitkeep files for the whole site.
