TortoiseGit: add to ignore already commited gen and bin folder

Question

How to add to ignore list already commited gen and bin folder using TortoiseGit?

Answer 1

For untracking + ignoring files, you do:

$ git rm -r --cached gen/ bin/
$ echo "gen/" >> .gitignore
$ echo "bin/" >> .gitignore

git rm --cached removes the file from the index, without changing the file in the working copy. So now git doesn't track it, but you still have it in your local folder.

Answer 2

resolved myself:

1. add folders to .gitignore

2. delete these folders

3. commit , push

and it works.
