directory - How to track directories but not their files with Git? -

-

i've started using git , having trouble 1 thing. how can track directories without tracking contents?

for example site i'm working on allows uploads. want track uploads directory created when branching, etc. not files within (test files whilst in develop branch or real files in master).

in .gitignore have following:

uploads/*.*

have tried (which ignores whole directory):

uploads/

this directory may contain sub directories (uploads/thumbs/ uploads/videos/) able track these not files.

is possible git? i've searched everywhere without finding answer.

git doesn't track directories, tracks files, acheive need track @ least 1 file. assuming .gitignore file looks this:

upload/*

you can this:

$ touch upload/.placeholder $ git add -f upload/.placeholder

if forget -f you'll see:

 $ git add upload/.placeholder following paths ignored 1 of .gitignore files: upload use -f if want add them. fatal: no files added

then when git status you'll see:

 # on branch master # # initial commit # # changes committed: #   (use "git rm --cached ..." unstage) # #   new file:   upload/.placeholder #

obviously can do:

$ touch upload/images/.placeholder $ git add -f upload/images/.placeholder

c# - Is it possible to remove an existing registration from Autofac container builder? -

something along lines: builder.registertype<mytype>().as<itype>(); builder.registertype<mytype2>().as<itype>(); builder.deregistertype<mytype>().as<itype>() var container = builder.build(); var types = container.resolve<ienumerable<itype>>(); assert.istrue(types.count == 1); assert.istrue(types[0].gettype == typeof(mytype2)); scenario: go through bunch of assemblies , go register types want make sure have 1 implementation of given type. need before create container. track on own nice if autofac me bit. this cannot done directly using containerbuilder , unless start on new one. mind you, having first built container should able construct new container filtering away unwanted types , reusing registrations first container. this: ... var container = builder.build(); builder = new containerbuilder(); var components = container.componentregistry.registrations .where(cr => cr.activator.limittype != typ...

php - Mysql PK and FK char(36) vs int(10) -

-
i have read mysql can handle indexes , searches better if tables keys integers rather char(36) uuid's. is worth converting int(10)? note: use 1 server , have have plans use multiple databases concurrently therefore removing 1 of big reasons using uuid. our tables innodb if makes difference. thanks in advance. usually rdbms can handle integer keys pk more efficient, other datatypes. reason how build index column, yes: long dont require string (or other typed) keys, should use integers. however: char(36) , int(10) far away being equal, because int(10) much smaller, char(36). dont know, if require many different keys, should keep in mind. update, complete last paragraph: int(10) 32-bit, char(36) 36 - ^byte^ (= 288-bit). not mean, int consumes less space, means, char(36) has 4 times more different keys.
