.gitignore not ignoring .rubocop.yml file












0















I have just added .rubocop.yml file to my project and added it to .gitignore file but when I do git status it appears as modified. I have never added this file to my repository. Why is .gitignore not ignoring this file?



project



app/
config/
.rubocop.yml



.gitignore



.rubocop.yml



Other files are ignored fine, for example, I also tried adding tags file to the root of the project and adding it to .gitignore and it works.



Why is .gitignore not ignoring .rubocop.yml file?

    .gitignore only applies to files that have not been added. If the status shows as "modified" then it has already been added, and .gitignore does not apply to it.

  • I now checked again and indeed I added the file previously to the repo. My bad. Thank you.

Commit your project first, then do git rm --cached .rubocop.yml. It shouldn't be included in your repository the next time you commit
