No matter which gitignore I use, whever its from gitignore.io, official github, .gitignores copied from popular public repositories, it wont ignore useless folders and files such as obj, package caches, .idea folder related files, etc.

Files I want to ignore, but are still showing up as changes:

<project-path>\obj\project.nuget.cache
<project-path>\obj\Debug\netcoreapp3.1\ProjectName.AssemblyInfo.cs
<project-path>\obj\Debug\netcoreapp3.1\ProjectName.csproj.nuget.g.props

Current gitignore:

### DotnetCore ###
# .NET Core build folders
/bin
/obj

# Common node modules locations
/node_modules
/wwwroot/node_modules


### Rider ###

  • my guess: you've once commited those files _before_ you commited your .gitignore? in that case, [this](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/1274057/how-to-make-git-forget-about-a-file-that-was-tracked-but-is-now-in-gitignore) might help. – Franz Gleichmann Sep 09 '20 at 20:03

this happens for me sometimes,

I do this to fix

git rm -r --cached . 
git add .
git commit -m "fix gitignore file"
