For when you make a change to .gitignore and the stupid thing still keeps old files in there. | |
To untrack a single file that has already been added/initialized to your repository, i.e., stop tracking the file but not delete it from your system use: git rm --cached filename | |
To untrack every file that is now in your .gitignore: | |
First commit any outstanding code changes, and then, run this command: | |
git rm -r --cached . | |
This removes any changed files from the index(staging area), then just run: | |
git add . | |
Commit it: | |
git commit -m "restablish .gitignore" |
