I have an issue with git, more precisely with gitignore.
I have created an empty folder Initialized git
mkdir fold
cd fold
git init
Updated gitignore (as below)
*.prjx
Committed gitignore
git add .gitignore
git commit -m "update gitignore"
Now I have several files (among them a .prjx) and folders in my root (fold) and I'd like to add all of them, but when I run
git add *
I get the message below
The following paths are ignored by one of your .gitignore files:
ftc.prjx
Use -f if you really want to add them.
fatal: no files added
I don't want to add it, I simply want add all the other files and folders. From my understanding .gitignore should handle exactly that so why I get the message above? Am I missing something?
