Adding .gitignore file to existing repo

Step 1: Update gitignore file as needed. Save below lines to .gitignore file.

*.swp

*.*~

project.lock.json

.DS_Store

*.pyc

nupkg/

# Visual Studio Code

.vscode

# Rider

.idea

# User-specific files

*.suo

*.user

*.userosscache

*.sln.docstates

# Build results

bld/

[Bb]in/

[Oo]bj/

[Oo]ut/

msbuild.log

msbuild.err

msbuild.wrn

# Visual Studio 2015

.vs/

 

 

Step 2: Then commit all pending changes along with .gitignore file

Then run this command:

git rm -r --cached .

This removes everything from the index, then just run:

git add .

Commit it:

git commit -m ".gitignore is now working"
