The '.gitignore' file from the 'Backup-dados' repo provides a very good example of using 'exceptions' in .gitignore. See it on GitHub or the local version in 'C:\Users\caior'.
How to stop tracking a directory/file that was previously an exception in .gitignore
-
If '.gitignore' is configured to ignore everything except a list of exceptions, and I want to start ignoring a file/folder (i.e., remove the exception) I do:
-
Modify the '.gitignore' file and submit only it to GitHub.
-
Remove the file/folder locally.
-
Commit the local changes and do a Fetch Origin and Push from GitHub Desktop to GitHub.
-
Done. After that, I can put the file/folder back in the local repo without problems, since it's no longer listed as an exception in '.gitignore'.
