How to ignore a folder in the root of a project in gitignore?

Question

git

There is a dist folder at the root of the project. There are also other dist folders that are downloaded as part of the bower packages. They are somewhere else in the project.
I write the line in gitignore:
dist/
As a result, all dist folders inside the project are ignored in general. And you only need the one that lies next to this gitignore file.

Answer 1

Try specifying the path as /dist
