I am using GIT. And I want to ignore some files/directories when I do a commit.

I put in the .gitignore file this lines:

/@data/logs/tracelog.txt
/@data/logs/sc_notification.txt

But if I look in in visual studio by the files that are being committed.

I still see the files.

See image.

So my question is: How to ignore these files?

Thank you

but for example. If I do this:

/@data/logs/fdce5bec-482d-45cf-8093-5d8c83f2e726tracelog.txt

I will not be shown in visual studio. So that works.

Where is your `.gitignore` located? – poke Mar 27 '17 at 08:14
Git already knows about the file and has a history of that file, so just adding it to the `.gitignore` will not make Git forget about it. You will have to untrack the file explicitly in order to make Git ignore further changes in it. – poke Mar 27 '17 at 08:27
Don't put complete path just put file name in git ignore ... – Aman Jaiswal Mar 27 '17 at 08:30
You mean like this: /tracelog.txt But this doesnt help – mightycode Newton Mar 27 '17 at 08:35
