tobiasvl, Ok cool
+ [2016-10-19T01:09:26Z] Geo If I have a file like .travis.yml , is there a way I can exclude that from git clones or downloads?
+ [2016-10-19T01:56:35Z] llamapixel Geo: You want a git ignore file? https://github.com/github/gitignore
+ [2016-10-19T02:11:47Z] Geo llamapixel: I think the gitignore prevents files on the local repo from being pushed?
+ [2016-10-19T02:13:50Z] Geo I'm looking for the opposite- things like .travis.yml that aren't part of the formal source distribution, but still needed to be stored in the GH repo, in this case for CI purposes
+ [2016-10-19T02:16:29Z] llamapixel Maybe you want something like sparse checkout Geo but I have not enough experience with it.
