🛠 Pro Tips

Ignore Already Tracked Files

If you accidentally committed files before adding .gitignore, remove them from tracking:

git rm --cached <file>

Use a Global .gitignore

Save time by setting up a global ignore file:

git config --global core.excludesfile ~/.gitignore_global

Then copy this .gitignore content into ~/.gitignore_global.

Check Why a File is Ignored

Run:

git check-ignore -v <file>

This shows which rule is causing the file to be ignored.
