How to ignore certain files in Git?

by

The problem is that .gitignore ignores just files that weren’t tracked before (by git add). Run git reset name_of_file to unstage the file and keep it. In case you want to also remove the given file from the repository (after pushing), use git rm --cached name_of_file.
