✅ VS seems to be ignore .gitignore when adding files to a repository
I was browsing files inside my project's repository Best-Chat (on GitHub). While in there, I noticed files that should've been excluded. These include the
.vs folder and all bin and obj folder. Any ideas what's going on?5 Replies
I'm assuming they weren't initially in .gitignore and were just added in? You'll have to remove the cached folders
I think VS is supposed to assume a .gitignore specific to VS.
git rm -r --cached -> git add .^
Sorry I am on mobile and couldn't remember the command on the top of my head haha
I'm thinking if VS did require a .gitignore, it should've created it when I added the solution to Git. Maybe even when the solution was first created.
Well, I did some things that included the
git rm -r --cached (though I had to add a pathspec). But I lost all the unchecked in changes I had waiting as I had also deleted them from the GitHub website not understanding after I ran the command, I could do a push. Fortunately, I already have recoded most of what I lost.
