restore.dg is not fitlered by .gitignore

Question

In my newest .NET Core ASP.MVC project I seem to be unable to ignore the restore.dg file. By default, the Visual Studio .gitignore file is set to ignore the whole .vs/ folder, in which the file is located. As this did not work, I tried several methods how to get rid of the file, yet unsuccessfully.

# Visual Studio 2015 cache/options directory
.vs/
restore.dg
*.dg
.vs/*

Could somebody help me?

Remove it from the cache.

git rm --cached .vs/restore.dg
git commit -m "Remove restore.dg from the cache"

This might happen after you have already committed this file into the repository. If this is the case you have to remove it using git rm --cached <filename> command and commit this change to the repository. After that it will disappear from git status and will never bother you again.

`git rm ` will delete the file locally, which isn't what the original poster wants. The original poster just wants to remove it from the repo. – Shaun Luttin Oct 06 '16 at 16:19
@ShaunLuttin, you are right, I have updated my answer. – Alexey Andrushkevich Oct 06 '16 at 16:23
