Git add . does add files listed in .gitignore

问题:

I want to stop tracking certain files in Git that I've added to the .gitignore file.

I used git rm --cached (and also tried git rm -r --cached .) but after running git add ., a git commit --dry-run tells me the files in my gitignore are "to be committed".

The contents of the .gitignore file are:

/source/backup/*
/site/index.php
/site/userscript.user.js

What's wrong with this gitignore?

Things were working just fine when the only line was source/backup/*. As soon as I added the second line, the source/backup/* files are getting committed as well.

回答1:

Clear out your index.

git reset

Stop tracking files in your backup folder.

git rm --cached source/backup/

Commit this change by itself.

git commit -m "Removing backup folder from git."

Proceed normally. Ignored files should not accidentally slip in at this point provided your ignore file is setup properly. I'd recommend preceding it with a slash (assuming that folder exists in the root of your repository).

#.gitignore
/source/backup/
/site/index.php
