Syncthing Ignore Patterns

If you use Syncthing and there are some files should not be synchronized to other devices, a file called .stignore can be created containing file patterns to ignore. The .stignore file must be placed in the root of the folder. The .stignore file itself will never be synced to other devices, although it can #include files (in our case is .stglobalignore file) that are synchronized between devices. All patterns are relative to the folder root.

There are two ways to use this ignore patterns function:

• Just copy all .stglobalignore contents in to Folders ⇢ Edit ⇢ Ignore Patterns window

  or

• Copy both .stignore and .stglobalignore directly into your folder root

  or

• Paste following code into Folders ⇢ Edit ⇢ Ignore Patterns window and copy the .stglobalignore into folder root

  // .stignore
  
  #include .stglobalignore
