Ignore CA Harvest SCM Resources

With the CA Harvest SCM ignore facility, you can specify that resources added to a project are not added to version control. A file named .scmignore stores the list of files, directories, or patterns to be ignored. The .scmignore file can be added to any directory of a project.

Note: The .scmignore file is required in each directory where files or subdirectories are to be ignored.

To mark a directory, file or pattern as ignored

1. Select a file or directory currently not being ignored in the Navigator view, right-click and select Team, Ignore.

   The Specify Pattern of Files to Ignore dialog appears.

2. Enter the name of the file or directory or pattern to be ignored, and click OK.

   When specifying patterns, use * and ? characters use as wildcards.

To add or remove directories, files, or patterns in the .scmignore file

1. Select a file or directory that is currently ignored in the Navigator view, right-click and select Team, Edit Ignore Files List.

   The Eclipse editor displays the .scmignore file.

2. Modify the contents of the .scmignore file and save your changes.

   When specifying patterns, use * and ? characters use as wildcards.
