The __pycache__ directory is annoying when working with git updates. Whenever I use git status, a lot of .pyc files show up. How can I conveniently list the __pycache__ folder in my .gitignore file so that they won't show up when using git status?
For example:
core/__pycache__/utils.cpython-36.pyc
core/__pycache__/version.cpython-36.pyc
core/actions/__pycache__/__init__.cpython-36.pyc
core/actions/__pycache__/action.cpython-36.pyc
Do I have to list all the individual __pycache__files into the gitignore file?

Explains: First finds all __pycache__ folders in current directory. Execute rm -r {} + to delete each folder at step above ( {} signify for placeholder and + to end the command)
__pycache__ is a directory that contains bytecode cache files that are automatically generated by python, namely compiled python, or . pyc , files. You might be wondering why Python, an "interpreted" language, has any compiled files at all.
If you want to maintain a folder and not the files inside it, just put a ". gitignore" file in the folder with "*" as the content. This file will make Git ignore all content from the repository.
__pycache__/. The ending slash indicates it is a directory and will ignore any files beneath it.

Use **/__pycache__/ this to ignore all pycache folder across the repo

I used this command in my root directory and it worked for me
git rm --cached */__pycache__/*
