Project.xml file automatically gets edited and staged for commit in android studio after update

Question

After updating Android Studio to 3.6.1, the following lines get added in Project.xml in .idea folder.

<AndroidXmlCodeStyleSettings>
  <option name="ARRANGEMENT_SETTINGS_MIGRATED_TO_191" value="true" />
</AndroidXmlCodeStyleSettings>

This file was previously added to git and pushed to GitHub so locally adding to untrack is also not helping. Upon doing so, it is staging it as a new file during the next time I click commit option in VCS tab.

I found here that it might be due to the NDK support plugin but even disabling it is not working.

Answer 1

You just need the remove this file from git.
Use:

git rm --cached <file>

and its no longer be tracked by git.
