So now I'm pushing and pulling log file between my live box and my dev box. I've tried adding logs into my exclude file and also running the git rm command on *.log to remove them from the index but they're still being tracked? I'm new to git. Can anyone shed any light? Cheers Ryan ``` ## Matthieu Moy, 2008-05-07 08:17 Subject: Re: Removing from index Message-ID: URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/vpq4p9a8r57.fsf%40bauges.imag.fr In-Reply-To: <4B58A837F454E14AA0453EDBADE96A62B5F3C9@mildred.leeds-art.ac.uk> ``` "Ryan Taylor" writes: > I've tried adding logs into my exclude file and also running the git rm > command on *.log to remove them from the index but they're still being > tracked? What does "git status" say after "git rm *.log"? Are you sure you didn't forget to commit after that? -- Matthieu ``` ## Ryan Taylor, 2008-05-07 08:41 Subject: RE: Removing from index Message-ID: <4B58A837F454E14AA0453EDBADE96A62B5F405@mildred.leeds-art.ac.uk> URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/4B58A837F454E14AA0453EDBADE96A62B5F405%40mildred.leeds-art.ac.uk In-Reply-To: ``` I do a rm then a commit.

What was the sequence of commands to remove them? What command did you try/use that returned unexpected output? What was that output, and what did you expect? -- Jakub Narebski Poland ShadeHawk on #git ```
