Ignore all files except *.pdf

[anca]

Hi, Can someone please help me to set up a basic ignore pattern

I simply want to ignore all files accept files ending with .pdf

Thanks

You can not easily do this for a whole directory tree, sorry.

To do it in a single directory, you can:

!somedirectory/*.pdf
somedirectory/*
