How to stop git from tracking all a folder(.vscode) and everything inside it.
Git is init in root say
RootFolder which contain multiple projects say P1, P2 and so on and each project folder has .vscode folder.
I have tried this from RootFolder
git rm --cached -r .vscode/
But it says
fatal: pathspec '.vscode/' did not match any files
However it works from parent folders i.e. P1, P2, etc. And I have got hundreds of them.3 Replies
1. Add
.vscode to your .gitignore
2. git rm -r --cached .
3. git add .because there is no
.vscode in the root
you could do what @ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ said, or alternatively git rm --cached */.vscode@ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ @mg
Thank you very much.
@ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ method worked smoothly
