.gitignore ignore the Intellij IDEA

Question

I have a question about .gitignore .

I use Intellij IDEA to automatically generate what folders to ignore. In .gitignore it wrote ../.idea/ . In the git status view, I still can see it:

Answer 1

If your git status shows ../.idea , that means your .gitignore is one folder below:

/path/to/repo
   .idea
   asubfolder
     .gitignore

Make sure your .gitignore is at the same level as .idea, and use:

.idea/

Answer 2

你应该把 .idea 不带 ../ 放在 .gitignore

Answer 3

Here it is what you generally need IDEA, Eclipse, NetBeans, target folder... in .gitignore

target/
!.mvn/wrapper/maven-wrapper.jar

### STS ###
.apt_generated
.classpath
.factorypath
.project
.settings
.springBeans

### IntelliJ IDEA ###
.idea
*.iws
*.iml
*.ipr

### NetBeans ###
nbproject/private/
build/
nbbuild/
dist/
nbdist/
.nb-gradle/

Be sure after this you run git rm -r --cached .
