Template .gitignore for git-managed WordPress projects

.gitignore_wordpress

# This is a template .gitignore file for git-managed WordPress projects.
# This is my own implementation based on various files
#
# Fact: you don't want WordPress core files, or your server-specific
# configuration files etc., in your project's repository. You just don't.
#
# Solution: stick this file up your repository root (which it assumes is
# also the WordPress root directory) and add exceptions for any plugins,
# themes, and other directories that should be under version control.
#
# See the comments below for more info on how to add exceptions for your
# content. Or see git's documentation for more info on .gitignore files:
# http://kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/docs/gitignore.html
 
# Ignore everything in the root as default
/*

# don't ignore this
!.gitignore
!.htaccess
!.wp-config.php


#except the "wp-content" directory.
# We sometime obfuscate wp-content as cont, so I change wp-content references on this file to cont
!wp-content/
!cont/
 
# Ignore everything in the "wp-content" directory, except the "plugins" or "plugs" when obfuscated
# and "themes" directories. See above about cont
