Question : git remove file from repo that has been added to gitignore
Answered by : envious-elk-ymmykgfj0mpx
Commit any files that you need to change/delete to the repo. Then:
git rm -r --cached . # this will clean all files from cache. To clean a single file, exchange '.' with filename
git add . # add all of the now uncached files that are not gitignored to the staging area
git commit -m "fix .gitignore" # commit the changesSource : http://www.codeblocq.com/2016/01/Untrack-files-already-added-to-git-repository-based-on-gitignore/ | Last Update : Thu, 01 Oct 20
