Hi, I run "git status", and I saw the a modified file in a directory. I want to ignore all files in that directory. I put the directory name into .gitignore, but it still shows as modified file. Why? How do I ignore the directory? Thanks.

$ git rm -rf --cached dirname && git commit -m "Removed directory from git"
Git will tell you about changes to the contents of the directory until you stop tracking it. --cached will prevent the folder from actually being removed from your harddisk.
