Stack Overflow Asked by sonika on December 7, 2021
I have a file called sohuku.txt. I have another folder named .gitignore.txt inside which I have put ‘sohuku.txt’, but when I type ‘git add .’ in PowerShell and then type git status, it shows the file in changes to be committed. what to do?
create .gitignore file in your root / directory without any extension.
/
src
index.js
.gitignore
want to remove the .txt files, just add in the .gitignore file
*.txt
and remove the old commit:
$ git reset HEAD~
<< edit files as necessary >>
$ git add ...
$ git commit -c ORIG_HEAD

Don't put .txt on the .gitignore file...
So you can pass the file name that you don't want to push to git.

gitignore is file, remove .txt from file name
.gitignore.txt -> .gitignore

The file has to be named .gitignore, not .gitignore.txt
If windows won't let you rename it (an error like "you must type a filename"), then rename it to .gitignore.

The .gitignore file should be at the root of the repository and named properly. https://git-scm.com/docs/gitignore
