I have a repository (Git) with the code, I made a few commands push. But I forgot to do .gitignore file and now I'm in the repository files with the extension .pyc.
Is removing them manually give any effect? Is there any command?

Step 1. Add the files that you wish to ignore to the .gitignore
For example: ./*.pyc
Step 2 As stated here:
git rm -r --cached
The update would be visible the next time you push.

Thank you. Is this command: "git rm -r --cached" delete all files with the extension pyc? – mark Jan 28 '15 at 09:00

This just deletes whatever files git has cached but are no longer tracked. You can have those files on your local system as long as you have a `.gitignore` that mentions the files that need not be tracked. – Sohaib Jan 28 '15 at 09:04
