Git ignore shell scripts

Question

Hi I am using git version 2.1.0 in my rails application . I want to ignore shell script from a folder called services

/services/*.sh

I have used this code in .gitignore , but it doesn’t works.I have called a single file directly too like

/services/setup_env_local.sh

its also not works .But other extensions like .log , .rb are ignoring with the same code

/services/*.log

what is the mistake I have done?...

Did you earlier commit this `setup_env_local.sh` into your repository? — Noufal Ibrahim, Dec 25 '14 at 05:43

Create a file in the root of the git directory called .gitignore and add the line /services/*.sh to it. This should work.

I already have a gitignore file, my question is only the shell scripts are not ignored why.. – Navin Dec 25 '14 at 05:41

@Navin I tested this locally on my machine and *.sh files are ignored the same as all other file types. – CorbinMc Dec 25 '14 at 05:44
@Navin gitignore will only ignore if the files are untracked if your file is already tracked by git then gitignore will not have any effect on it. – user85 Aug 28 '20 at 05:54
