Lotsss of files being changed

Should I see this many files being changed by webpack(?) whenever I make small updates to a few files? Is there something im not gitignoring properly or something

are you using turborepo?

nexxel•11/22/22, 4:02 AM

you prolly should have the gitignore inside giterate-app

nexxel•11/22/22, 4:03 AM

the gitignore in the parent should not contain nested files that have to be ignored from what i know

You have to remove these files from ur git „repo“ in case you already committed them once

Adding them to gitignore AFTER already commiting them has no effect- this is how git is built & intended to work

git rm .next —cached

This will not remove them from your git history, which I would also not recommend

Anyway, here are the docs for cleaning up a git history: https://docs.github.com/en/authentication/keeping-your-account-and-data-secure/removing-sensitive-data-from-a-repository
