Django settings.cpython-36.pyc not ignored by gitignore

Question

The file in my application settings.cpython-36.pyc is not being ignored even though I have added it to the .gitignore file.

My gitignore code:

*.log
*.pot
*.pyc
.idea
LearnDjango/__pycache__/
venv/
/LearnDjango/settings.py
LearnDjango/__pycache__/settings.cpython-36.pyc

This line LearnDjango/__pycache__/ in the gitignore file ignores the other .cpython-36.pyc files but not settings.cpython-36.pyc

P.S I am new to Django and git.

I was facing the same problem.

*.log

*.pot

*.pyc

*/*/*/__pycache__/

*/*/__pycache__/

*/__pycache__/

git rm -rf --cached .

git add .

I hope that this can help you.

Ahhh... as stated by the user Ahmad in this post, you must to clean the github cache also: https://stackoverflow.com/a/25436481/4252612 – William Zimmermann Feb 21 '18 at 14:34
After adjust gitignore, I had to do this for every file, so I call awk for help: "git status | grep pycache | awk {'print $3'} | xargs git reset HEAD" – André Duarte Oct 04 '19 at 14:23
