git - How to remove remote repos's directory after I add this directory into .gitignore? -
in beginning, dont put logs/ .gitignore, after git push, logs/ appears in remote, add logs/ in .gitignore , commit , push, logs/ still remains in remote, how remove logs/ in remote ?
.gitignore ignores untracked files, once files added repo, tracked until explicitly removed.
if don't care keep directory in history, need remove git git rm -r logs, git commit. however, if directory large , increases repository size, follow advice yan zax filter-branch.
