How does gitignore work?

political_magpie · January 16, 2023, 5:44am

I have a Plasmic Nextjs build and I see 139 next files in my changes to commit, yet I have a gitignore with:

# Next.js build output
.next
out

any clues?

did you try to restart vscode?

political_magpie · January 16, 2023, 6:21pm

Yes, but will try again just incase.

political_magpie · January 16, 2023, 6:22pm

Didn’t work. I get a fresh batch

do you have any other rules inside .gitignore file? If yes, do these rules work as expected?

political_magpie · January 16, 2023, 9:25pm

Yes I have .yarn/cache which helped reduce 100s.
But .next/cache has no effect

~also, I think you have to add / after .next to have it like this .next/~

Not yet. I’ll try that

git rm -r --cached .next
generated deleted staging files, do I commit?

political_magpie · January 16, 2023, 10:19pm

Committed and no more files . Thx so much @impressive_cardinal
