'.gitignore arbitrary sub git repositories
I'm trying to find a catch-all solution for a .gitignore to exclude any directories containing another git repository. The motivation is to be able to locally organize git-repositories hierarchically without git status telling you there is something untracked.
In my mind it would look like;
# exclude sub git directories
**/.git/..
and as I understand the disassembled parts
**: anywhere in the repository/: any directory.git/: with a.git/directory..: exclude the directory containing the.git/
An example would be to exclude bar/-directory in the foo/-repository from file-tree: https://i.stack.imgur.com/kXgjR.png
However, git does not seem to regard foo/bar/.git/.. equivalent to foo/bar/, or foo/bar/./ for that matter.
Suggestions?
