Out of the blue, git started to track ~/.config/chromium
directory. My repository's path looks something like this: ~/app/my-project
. My guess is that Chromium directory was added to a repo because I launched Chromium with disabled web security flag from the my-project directory. I tried to remove it with git rm --cached ~/.config
, but then I get the error
fatal: /home/user/.config: '/home/user/.config' is outside repository
Any ideas how can it track it and at the same time claim it's outside the repository? And how can I fix this? I'd rather avoid deleting my ~/.config directory.
git status:
src/pages/Page.js
~/.config/chromium/Default/Cache/xyz
~/.config/chromium/Default/Cache/abc
~/.config/chromium/Local State
You accidentally created a file called ~
inside your git project, and are now confused by the fact that you think the ~
refers to your home directory.
To delete this file, just quote the path:
git rm --cached "~/.config"
