github - How to ignore the contents of a previously tracked directory in git? -
i have seen this post no longer tracking tracked file, here situation.
i committed directory. want untrack in directory still track directory itself.
i have added /auto-save-list/*
.gitignore
file (the directory trying ignore auto-save-list
directory in root of project, , have run git rm --cached
still have multiple filed directory show new when go make commit. files show in origin repo.
can me ignore contents of tracked file?
this should enough:
git rm -r --cached auto-save-list/ echo "/auto-save-list/" > .gitignore git add .gitignore git commit -m "records untracking of /auto-save-list/ folder"
no need '*
'
if still need directory there (versioned in git repo, though git doesn't track empty folder), add dummy file in it.
touch auto-save-list/.keep git add -f auto-save-list/.keep git commit -m "record auto-save-list/ folder, while ignoring content"
