I hope to stop monitoring the file misc.xml, and don't commit the change of file to Github. How can I do? Thanks!
And more, all files under the folder .idea should be ignore when I use Git, right?

Please see my git command line answer as the alternative to Usama's answer. – SnakeException Jun 27 '19 at 13:51

First add the file/folder to your .gitignore file (project-level)
Go to the Terminal in Android Studio and type in these commands:
git rm -r the-directory-to-remove
The above command will remove the specified directory from git.
git commit -m "Delete .idea folder"
The above command commits the changes, you can change "Delete .idea folder" to whatever you like.
git push origin <your-git-branch>
The above command pushes the changes to Github (or BitBucket).
Now, if you want to delete the file from Github/BitBucket ONLY but not from the entire filesystem, run git rm -r --cached myFolder
instead of the first command.

Add the path of file or folder in .gitignore file which located in project root directory. If not make a file with name .gitignore .
Here is the documentation
https://git-scm.com/docs/gitignore
Example of .gitignore file might be helpful

Sorry! I am unable to find any option for that in Android Studio, UI but you can always go to git command line for these types of operations – Muhammad Usama Ashraf Jun 25 '19 at 06:36
