Question

I have followings in the .gitignore file

application/config/database.php
application/config/config.php

But when I run git status both files are under modified. Isn’t that git should ignore these files? How should I do so that these files won’t be displayed.

Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

You have to stop tracking the file. You can do it by

git rm -r --cached .

and then

git add .

and commit

git commit -m "message"
