This CLI shell script aims to leverage glob patterns and existing .gitignore files in order to exclude specific
folders and files from dropbox sync. The shell script uses this recent https://help.dropbox.com/files-folders/restore-delete/ignored-files approach to ignore folders and files.
Getting started
dropboxignore is a CLI tool which supports a collection of commands in order to make your life easier when it comes
to exclude files or/and folders from dropbox sync. Below you will find some common usecases.
A typical workflow
A common workflow could be the following:
.dropboxignore files based on existing .gitignore files..dropboxignore files (Optional).and you can run this flow by running the following command:
$ dropboxignore genupi .
Warning: In order to prevent unpleasant data losses, exception patterns are not supported. Both .gitignore and
.dropboxignore files with at least one exceptional pattern will be bypassed (for further details:
https://github.com/sp1thas/dropboxignore/issues/3 ).
Note: Automatic generation of .dropboxignore files is an optional step, therefore, may not be a necessary action
for your case.
Long story short:
