Questions
I have a repository with a file Hello.java. When I compile it an additional Hello.class file is generated.
I created an entry for Hello.class in a .gitignore file. However the file still appears to be tracked.
I want to know how to make git ignore Hello.class.
Answers
The problem is that .gitignore ignores just files that weren t tracked before (by git add). Run git reset name_of_file to unstage the file and keep it. In case you want to also remove given file from the repository (after pushing), use git rm --cached name_of_file.
