.gitignore in notes repo

[rmiceli]

I added a .gitignore to my notes repo and now it shows up as a notebook tab in magpie 0.1.0 (see attached image).

Also, it might be a good feature for magpie to also ignore notebooks in the gitignore file. For example, hide my "archive" notebook if I have it in .gitignore. Thanks.

That's an interesting bug, and a great feature idea!

Thanks for the report. I'll try to fix it soon.

Maybe it would be adequate to just not show any hidden files or directories, instead of relying on .gitignore.

@billt2006 how would you handle the differences between windows and nix hidden folders?

[thornbill]

Does Git for Windows use dotfiles? Maybe it would be good enough to just ignore any file/directory starting with "." for this.

@billt2006 windows git uses a .git directory same as nix if that's what you're asking.

#64 seems to address the issue so I'm not going to work on it any further
