Git Still Tracks Files in the .gitignore #38

Closed Capital-EX closed 6 years ago

Capital-EX commented 6 years ago

I've notice that git is still tracking the changes made for files listed in the .gitignore. Since dat.json, portal.json, links/custom.css, media/content/icon.svg have previously been committed to the repo their change will continue to be tracked.

The fallowing command will cause those files to be 'forgotten' without removing them: git update-index --assume-unchanged links/custom.css media/content/icon.svg dat.json portal.json
