Remove directory from remote repository after adding them to .gitignore
Raw
gistfile1.md

The rules in .gitignore only apply to untracked files. If files under that directory have already been committed into the repository, unstage them, create a commit, and push that to master.

git rm -r --cached some-directory
git commit -m 'Remove the now ignored directory "some-directory"'
git push origin master
