CFWheels and Git: Ignoring unpacked plugin directories

Just a quick little git and Wheels tip. Most of the time, you might only want to track your plugins .zip file in your repo and ignore the plugin’s unpacked directory since it’s pretty much redundant to track both. In order to do this, create a .gitignore file where your .git directory lives. In it add the following:

plugins/**/*

What that does is essentially tells git to ignore any subdirectories off the main plugin directory.
