I am building a node.js project and I have a gh-pages branch for the github website. I have a mockoups folder in that branch that I've included in the .gitignore file, because I don't want it on github. Whenever I checkout to another branch the folder gets deleted.

How do I keep the folder but not commit it to github?

If you have it in the .gitignore in the other branches I would suggest clearing cache Clear git local cache

Only untracked data is left untouched on checkout.

Make sure your folders were not already tacked when you added them to your .gitignore.

git rm --cached -r afolder/

Then try and checkout another branch.
