                Git: Ignore already checked in file
              
          
    Git: How can I ignore a file that is already committed to the repo?

You have a repo and quite some developers have cloned the repo and working on it.
Now you want to add a file to gitignore which is already checked-in or tracked by Git.(The file is already commited into the repo)
Below are the steps on how to ignore this file (lets say the filename is config.py):


Add it to .gitignore:


$ echo "config.py" >> .gitignore

# Download this script as "git-recent" (no extension), chmod it to be executable and put it in your
# path somewhere (e.g. /usr/bin). You can then use it via `git recent` from inside any git repo.
