With the increasing popularity of software development, the version control software Git has become an indispensable tool in the development process. In the process of using Git, we often need to ignore some files or folders to prevent them from being accidentally committed to the repository. However, in some cases, even if we have correctly configured git's ignore rules, we will still find that ignored files or folders are committed to the repository. In this article, we will analyze the problem of adding ignore rules in Git not working and discuss some solutions.
First, let’s review how Git’s ignore rules work. In Git, we can create a file named .gitignore
in the project root directory to specify the file or folder pattern that needs to be ignored. These patterns can contain wildcards, for example *.log
means to ignore all .log
files, /logs
means to ignore logs## in the root directory #Directory,
**/logs means ignoring the
logs directory under all subdirectories, etc. Once we add the ignore rule, Git will automatically exclude these files or folders and will not include them in version control.
git add, then they will not be neglect. In order to avoid this problem, we can use the command
git rm --cached to remove the file from the staging area and add the corresponding ignore in the
.gitignore file rule.
git check-ignore -v to check that Git is correctly excluding files from version control, and to check that our ignore rules are as expected.
core.excludesfile option, this file may contain content that conflicts with the rules in the
.gitignore file. In order to avoid this problem, we can view the current Git configuration through the command
git config --list and check whether the options related to ignoring rules are set correctly.
