So I understand how to use the .gitignore file to ignore specific
files/directories that I put in there... is there a way to ignore everything
BUT a given file extension?
Something like
*
!*.jpg
to only save the jpegs in your pr0n collection?
Hmm, do people still keep p0rn collection in jpgs? I somehow had an
impression that they moved to avis ;-)
The first rule says "ignore everything". The second one says "don't
ignore *.jpg files".
Untested.
t3001-ls-files-others-exclude.sh has some tests but there is nothing that
explicitly tests overlapping patterns. Perhaps it should (hint, hint...)
"man gitignore" documentation has an example to ignore all *.html files
but not foo.html using a similar construct, i.e.
*.html
!foo.html
Add a test which checks that negated patterns such as "!foo.html" can
override previous patterns such as "*.html". This is documented
behaviour but had not been tested so far.

Add a test which checks that negated patterns such as "!foo.html" can
override previous patterns such as "*.html". This is documented
behaviour but had not been tested so far.
Negated excludes with a pattern does not seem to work with sub directories,
e.g. the following test fails for me.
The file /one/two/a.1 exists, and is initially excluded by *, but not
re-included by "!*.1" (where as /a.1 is re-included).
