Get gitignore to ignore

Sometimes git doesn't ignore files that it has been tracking when you declare them in .gitignore. After you put something in .gitignore and commit it and it still tracks those files, run these series of commands.

git rm -r --cached .
git add .
git commit -m ".gitignore is now working"
