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

put .next in .gitignore
its the folder for your dev server cache and build stuff
weird, i have it setup as a monorepo with the create-t3 app inside packages/giterate-app. In gitignore, I have
/packages/giterate-app/.next/ but still those files show upare you using turborepo?
you prolly should have the gitignore inside giterate-app
the gitignore in the parent should not contain nested files that have to be ignored from what i know
not using turborepo
gah why isnt this working lmao wtf
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
