.gitignore not working for me
- by John Grey
Hi,
I'm trying to create a new git repository from existing folder. I've created a .gitignore file in the root of the folder. But if I say 'git add *' 'git commit' 'git push' files that should be ignored still get commited to the remote repository. I'm on Windows.
Also I've bought a license for SmartGIT. It also seems to ignore .gitignore. I have to manually select which new files to commit.
What am I doing wrong?
