I have a standard asp.net MVC git ignore file where it is instructed to ignore all dll files. But in my Project, I am referencing some third party dll's. Now how can I make the gitignore to allow only this dll's and ignore other dll's.
I have seen people adding ! before the file name to exclude. But this is not working for me. I don't know why?
Actual gitignore file:
###################
# compiled source #
###################
*.com
*.class
*.dll
*.exe
*.pdb
*.dll.config
*.cache
*.suo
# Include dlls if they’re in the NuGet packages directory
!/packages/*/lib/*.dll
!/packages/*/lib/*/*.dll
# Include dlls if they're in the CommonReferences directory
!*CommonReferences/*.dll

At the end, I tried adding !bin/myLib.dll and !myLib.dll. This is not working.
Can somebody help me to solve this? so that I can included those dll files.
