Understanding .gitignore

[anhtuduong]

@thuhoainguyen The full dataset is about 52GB, which is huge. By using .gitignore we can ignore the image data (large file) and avoid pushing it to github. That's why in the .gitignore there's a line:

dataset/*/*imaging.nii.gz

So not all the files with extension nii.gz are ignored, but only the files with the suffix imaging.nii.gz are ignored.

[thuhoainguyen]

I see, the file imaging.nii.gz is 4.5 times larger than sum of all other files (227MB to 50MB) in each case folder.

That file is the image data, and the rest are annotations.
