I want to ignore any files excepts *.c files from the git system. I wrote .gitignore file like this.
!**/*.c
Though my files is not ignored.
~/p/normal_linux_programming (master) $ git status
On branch master
Changes to be committed:
(use "git reset HEAD <file>..." to unstage)
modified: .gitignore

Changes not staged for commit:
(use "git add <file>..." to update what will be committed)
(use "git checkout -- <file>..." to discard changes in working directory)
modified: .gitignore
How can I do that?
I want to only archive *.c source files.
