Working on a Symfony2 project using phpStorm IDE, I have added couple of files to git ignore but one file despite being added to git ignore is always appearing....I have tried multiple times but its always there
.gitignore file:
/app/config/parameters.yml /bin/ /build/ /composer.phar /vendor/ /web/bundles/ /app/bootstrap.php.cache /app/cache/* !app/cache/.gitkeep /app/config/parameters.yml /app/logs/* !app/logs/.gitkeep /app/phpunit.xml #IDE metadata **.idea/** #Bash files run.sh And it is the .idea folder/files that git just will not ignore:
On branch develop Changes not staged for commit: (use "git add <file>..." to update what will be committed) (use "git checkout -- <file>..." to discard changes in working directory) modified: .idea/workspace.xml no changes added to commit (use "git add" and/or "git commit -a") Any idea why git will just not ignore the whole directory like i have specyfied in gitignore...?

ignoring the idea folder is fine as not everyone uses them, and they are not part of your code - you (hopefully) don't need them on production, for instance. ignoring is fine, but removing is less of a good idea. It contains information for your local workspace. I'm surprised this is down-voted.
gitignore ignores only untracked files. Your files are marked as modified - meaning they were committed in the past, and git now tracks them. To ignore them, you first need to delete them, git rm them, commit and then ignore them.
. gitignore is a plain text file in which each line contains a pattern for files or directories to ignore. It uses globbing patterns to match filenames with wildcard characters. If you have files or directories containing a wildcard pattern, you can use a single backslash ( \ ) to escape the character.
Git never ignores changes to tracked files. As it appears as modified, the file is under version control (the idea/workspace.xml file usually should not be) and thus changes to it are tracked. Delete it from the index, leaving your local copy intact with git rm --cached .idea/workspace.xml and commit this change. From then on it will be ignored unless you force-add it back to the repository or change your gitignore settings.
