gitIgnore for .history angular project

Question

Why is gitignore not working for me? Why are files in .history folder not getting ignored?

Answer 1

Make sure to remove those files from the index first:

git rm -r --cached src/.history/

Then check the status reported by VSCode: those files should not be there.

Note: the .gitignore rule should be

.history/

(no need for '*': you ignore the just the folder, with the trailing '/': that is enough)
