如何忽略以git结尾的文件？

Question

My .gitignore file looks like that:

> cat .gitignore
.bundle
db/*.sqlite3
log/*.log
tmp/**/*
*~

But, git doesn't ignore the files ended with ~ :

> git status
# On branch master
# Changes not staged for commit:
#   (use "git add <file>..." to update what will be committed)
#   (use "git checkout -- <file>..." to discard changes in working directory)
#
#   modified:   app/views/jobs/_form.html.erb
#   modified:   app/views/jobs/_form.html.erb~
#   modified:   public/stylesheets/jobs_new_edit.css~

What could be th ereason for that?

Answer 1

modified means you have the file committed in the repo already. You should remove it first, then it will be ignored for addition.

Answer 2

可能是因为您已对其进行版本控制，所以它之前已添加到存储库（或索引）中。
