Fix Unreal Engine plugin binaries on subfolders

[maximetinu]

Reasons for making this change:

When I installed the Rider plugin for UE5, I noticed that some subfolders with binaries were not being git ignored

Links to documentation supporting these rule changes:

This is the project with which I noticed the issue

https://github.com/Maximetinu/batterycollector-ue5

This is the commit I made to fix it

maximetinu/batterycollector-ue5@71dad49

I've slightly modified the rule for this PR to make it more specific to this case

Steps to reproduce

• Pull down that repository prior to the commit I made to fix it
• Open the project with UE5, enable Rider plugin on the project and open the IDE to see the issue happening

I'm participating in hacktoberfest, so if you can add the hacktoberfest-accepted label to the PR, I'll appreaciate it 😄

Unfortunately, we could not make this an Hacktoberfest contribution.

Can you clarify this is an issue happening to other UE5/Rider users?

Hi

Yes, other users must also be encountering this.

The original ignore rule is, for example, Plugins//Binaries/. The single * between Plugins and Binaries only contemplates one level of subfolders.

The issue was that the Rider plugin doesn't output its binaries directly to Plugins/Rider/Binaries/, like the original rule assumed. It had the binaries on a deeper subfolder, Plugins/Developer/RiderLink/Binaries/ which was not being git ignored

So I changed the rule to ignore any Intermediate/ and Binaries/ folder, doesn't matter it's depth in the folder hierarchy.

For example, these are the changes that Git detects when I open Rider with the original .gitignore:

As you can see, that Plugins/Developers/RiderLink/Binaries/ were not being .gitignored by Plugins//Binaries/. Hence my change to make it just Binaries/

Another valid alternative would have been Plugins/**/Binaries/*. If you prefer a more explicit one like that, we can also change it.

Also having issues with RiderLink and other plugins binary files not being ignored. Is there any reason why it isn't merged yet?

[maximetinu]

I'd merge it if I had the rights!

Bump. This change will only cause good. I've closed my dupe #4213
