My .gitignore file looks like this, however it is not ignoring target folder,
# Compiled source #
###################
*.com
*.class
*.dll
*.exe
*.o
*.so
#Compiled target packages
######################
target/
project/target/
.idea/
.idea
.idea/workspace.xml
Any help will be highly appreciated. Thanks.
You probably added .gitignore file after the target folder creation.
Be careful before doing this for unchecked files. Then use this command at your project.
git rm -r --cached .
After this operation, you may need to commit for removing all undesirable files at repository.
git add .
git commit -m 'send with gitignore activation.'
