I am running a laravel application. I am not being able to ignore two specific folders/files.
~/Homestead
/bootstrap/env.php
Although I have added it to .gitignore, for some reason its not ignoring these two files/folder.

When you say ignore, what do you mean? I's unlikely that `~/Homestead` is in your project folder – atymic Jul 22 '19 at 02:36

@atymic its there. And even if I delete it, it isnt deleted. It must be because I am using vagrant. – prakashchhetri Jul 22 '19 at 02:39

What is the path of your laravel project folder? – atymic Jul 22 '19 at 02:39

Are those folders already commited to your git repo? – atymic Jul 22 '19 at 02:40

The path is c:/Users/
/sites/myapp . Yes they are. – prakashchhetri Jul 22 '19 at 02:43 -
If you've already committed these files to the repo, `.gitignore` won't ignore them. That's only for ignoring files not committed yet. – joanis Jul 22 '19 at 13:39

If you want Git to ignore new changes to a tracked file, this might help: https://stackoverflow.com/a/11366713/3216427 – joanis Jul 22 '19 at 13:40
