I love the file search (ctrl+shift+f) and quick navigate (ctrl+p) in Sublime Text. What can be annoying however is when these present you with library code in your project, files related to source control, binary files or minified files.
Since I keep forgetting how to clean that up, here’s a note to self (and others) on how to clean that up. Easy peasy.
- Save as project (if you haven’t already)
- Edit project file
- Add
file_exclude_patternsand/orfolder_exclude_patternsto thefolderssection.
Below is an example from one of my current projects which excludes the git repo folder, a cache folder, minified files and some binary files.
{
"folders":
[
{
"file_exclude_patterns":
[
"*.mp3",
"*.ogg",
"*.pdf",
"*.min.*"
],
"folder_exclude_patterns":
[
".git",
".cache"
],
"path": "/D/dev/www/sdaweb-ssl"
}
]
}
