How does one add pickle files to their .gitignore file?
I have tried:
*.csv
*.pkl
The CSV is ignored but not the pickle file.
Note that the pickle file was originally added so maybe its downstream(?) and can no longer be removed?

1`.gitignore` only effects new files, it will not delete existing files – mousetail Sep 18 '20 at 20:04

Thanks. Removed the pickle file from remote only. Still didn't get ignored on next push. Weird. – Cybernetic Sep 18 '20 at 20:12

@Cybernetic, have you tried pushing everything as it is, then deleting from remote, then putting `*.pkl` in `.gitignore` and _then_ committing & pushing everything again? – ForceBru Sep 18 '20 at 20:25
