Hmph, do you mean you type something like this?
$ cd path/to/the
... work in that deep directory ...
... realize that file.txt in that directory needs ignoring ...
$ echo path/to/the/file.txt >../../../../../../.gitignore
Wouldn't this simpler to type and less error prone, as you do not
have to count ../?
$ cd path/to/the
... work in that deep directory ...
... realize that file.txt in that directory needs ignoring ...
$ echo file.txt >.gitignore
