Can't ignore UserInterfaceState.xcuserstate
Git is probably already tracking the file.
From the gitignore docs:
To stop tracking a file that is currently tracked, use git rm --cached.
Use this, replacing [project]
and [username]
with your info:
git rm --cached [project].xcodeproj/project.xcworkspace/xcuserdata/[username].xcuserdatad/UserInterfaceState.xcuserstate
git commit -m "Removed file that shouldn't be tracked"
Alternatively you can use the -a
option to git commit
that will add all files that have been modified or deleted.
Once you've removed the file from git, it will respect your .gitignore
.
In case that the ignored file kept showing up in the untracked list, you may use git clean -f -d
to clear things up.
1.
git rm --cached {YourProjectFolderName}.xcodeproj/project.xcworkspace/xcuserdata/{yourUserName}.xcuserdatad/UserInterfaceState.xcuserstate
2.
git commit -m "Removed file that shouldn't be tracked"
3.
WARNING first try git clean -f -d --dry-run
, otherwise you may lose uncommited changes.
Then:
git clean -f -d
All Answer is great but here is the one will remove for every user if you work in different Mac (Home and office)
git rm --cache */UserInterfaceState.xcuserstate
git commit -m "Never see you again, UserInterfaceState"
