@#53177 Thank you very much for your comment! This indeed showed the message "Cross-device link". I did not yet find a credible source for lua, but for python `os.rename` seems to be limited to operations within the same file system, which would totally explain, why I had this problem. (more) |

| Question | — |
Using Lua's `os.rename` to rename a file from a hard drive to a new location on a USB flash drive I'm using the `os.rename` function in a lua script. It works perfectly fine for renaming files on my hard drive, e.g. ``` os.rename("test.txt","/Users/username/Desktop/test2.txt") ``` will rename the file as desired. However if the source file is on my hard drive and the target file is on... (more) |

A: cannot initialize a variable of type 'CFDictionaryRef' Instead of reinventing the wheel, I would use SpaceInfo, a nice little command line tool to retrieve the current space number. (more) |

Thank you for your answer! Interesting to learn about the additional places which contribute to the list of ignored files! (more) |

... maybe some pre-commit hook that warns we when I am to commit an incorrect file? (more) |

@#8046 It is me adding them accidentally, usually when I add a whole bunch of files at once, I don't remember them and do things like `git add *.pdf` or I just overlook them in my git program (gitkraken, sourcetree etc.) when I add the files.

| Question | — |
Conditionally ignore files in git I'm using git for LaTeX projects and am in a little dilemma about how to best ignore files. - if I add `.pdf` to my `.gitignore` file, I keep forgetting to force add included graphics - if I don't add it, I keep accidentally adding the compiled documents, which are often quite large and blow up...
