Sometimes we add some files in our .gitignore to avoid them from commit but still they appeared in our changes to commit and violat .gitignore.
Here are four easy steps to make .gitignore functional again :
Caution : Be aware to commit all your changes before or backup them, otherwise you will loose control on all the changed files that may be important to you.
Step 1 : git rm -r --cached . // This will remove any changed files from the index.
Step 2 : git add . // To add the changes file to commit
Step 3 : git commit -m "fixed .gitignore issue"
Step 4 : git push origin master(your working branch)
Now added files to .gitignore will never appear in your changes to commit.
