# How do I make Git forget about a file that was tracked, but is now in .gitignore?

# How do I make Git forget about a file that was tracked, but is now in .gitignore?
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
First:
|
`.gitignore` will prevent untracked files from being added (without an `add -f`) to the set of files tracked by Git. However, Git will continue to track any files that are already being tracked.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
```bash
|
To stop tracking a file, we must remove it from the index:
|
||||||
git rm -r --cached .
|
|
||||||
git add .
|
git rm --cached <file>
|
||||||
```
|
|
||||||
|
To remove a folder and all files in the folder recursively:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
git rm -r --cached <folder>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The removal of the file from the head revision will happen on the next commit.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
**WARNING: While this will not remove the physical file from your local machine, it will remove the files from other developers' machines on their next `git pull`.**

Then:
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
```bash
|
|
||||||
git commit -am "Remove ignored files"
|
|
||||||
```
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Or as a one-liner:
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
```bash
|
|
||||||
git rm -r --cached . && git add . && git commit -am "Remove ignored files"
|
|
||||||
```
