# list them here. For example, if your actual source code is in 'my_project_code':
#!my_project_code/
#!my_project_code/**/*  # Also unignore its contents

# UNIGNORE: If you have a 'src' directory you *do* want to track, and
# you want to track 'python' within it:
#!src/
#!src/python/
#!src/python/**/* # And its contents

# -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
# ADAPTED EXISTING RULES: Now these apply to any directory, not just /src/python
# If a directory (e.g., 'my_project_code/') is unignored above, these rules
# will then apply to paths within 'my_project_code'.

# NEW CONCEPT: Ignore all directories at the top level of the repository.
