Example 2: How to ignore files in git

Then in Git Bash you have to write the following line:

git config --global core.excludesfile ~/.gitignore_global
--------------------------------------------------------------------
If the repository already exists then you have to do the following:

git rm -r --cached .
git add .
git commit -m ".gitignore is now working"
If the step 2 doesn’t work then you should write the whole route of the files that you would like to add.

Example 3: git exclude folder

directory_to_exclude/

$ echo debug.log >> .gitignore $ git rm --cached debug.log rm 'debug.log' $ git commit -m "Start ignoring debug.log"
