I've a .gitignore file at the root of my repo. The .gitignore file has the following pattern to exclude the compiled Python files and that is the only line in the file.
*.pyc
Now when i do the following at the root of the repo.
git init
git add .
git status
It shows that it still tracks the .pyc file and tries to add it as new file. See output below.
System info: Windows 7, cygwin
Note: This issue is CLEARLY not about the ignored file being already tracked. I also tried both DOS- and Unix-style line endings on the .gitignore file.
git status gives:
# On branch master
#
# Initial commit
#
# Changes to be committed:
# (use "git rm --cached <file>..." to unstage)
#
# new file: .gitignore
# new file: feedapp/__init__.py
# new file: feedapp/appconfig.py
# new file: feedapp/appconfig.pyc
How do I troubleshoot this further?
