How to make unison (file synchronization) to ignore files with .swp extensions? what should i add on the prf file?
1 Answer
See the manual
ignore = Name {*.swp}
It is important to note that the wildcard *
will not match files that begin with a dot .
, so this will not ignore .swp
files created temporarily by vim. To ignore files with a leading dot in their name you also need the line
ignore = Name {.*.swp}
You can combine these two lines (ignore all files that end with .swp
either with or without a leading .
) and also ignore some of the other temporary files that vim creates (.swo
and .swn
) with this single line
ignore = Name {.*,*}.sw[pon]

1For the GUI users, this is available in the menu under Synchronization>Change Profile (Shortcut: P)>Edit and then you need to add a new preference "ignore" with your Wildcard expressions.– NashJul 4, 2018 at 6:17
