> This method makes git **completely forget** ignored files (**past**/present/future), but does **not** delete anything from working directory (even when re-pulled from remote).

> This method requires usage of `/.git/info/exclude` (preferred) **OR** a **pre-existing** `.gitignore` in **all** the commits that have files to be ignored/forgotten. <sup>1</sup>

> All methods of enforcing git ignore behavior after-the-fact effectively re-write history and thus have [significant ramifications](https://stackoverflow.com/q/1491001) for any public/shared/collaborative repos that might be pulled after this process. <sup>2</sup>

> General advice: **start with a clean repo** - everything committed, nothing pending in working directory or index, **and make a backup**!
