如何在选项卡完成期间在 OS X Lion 上获取 bash 以忽略.DS_Store 文件？

Question

I have lots of directories with a single file in them. The presence of.DS_Store files makes filename completion a little awkward. How do I tell bash to ignore.DS_Store files when I hit tab?

Answer 1

Add this line to your .bash_profile file:

export FIGNORE=DS_Store

Answer 2

A better method is to also exclude the other things that might already be in FIGNORE using

export FIGNORE="$FIGNORE:DS_Store"
