Purpose:
Sometimes, we do not want to
commit the sensitive file such as config file to git. In order to handle it, we
can use .gitignore file
to claim that which files will be excluded for the committing.
Step 1:
Create a file called “.gitignore”
touch .gitignore
|
Step 2:
Write the untracked file’s name to “.gitignore” file
echo xxx.xxx >> .gitignore
|
Step 3:
Sometimes, if you want to remove some committed files from
git, you need to do the following commands
git rm --cached xxx.xxx
|
Step 4:
The normal way to commit
git commit -m "Remove the committed untracked file"
git push
