im not even using git i think, im not using a terminal interface

#

im using github desktop

steady solar Feb 23, 2023, 1:12 PM

#

that's git . . .

hidden haven Feb 23, 2023, 1:12 PM

#

i thought you need to do it from the terminal for it to be git

#

idont even remember installing git

steady solar Feb 23, 2023, 1:13 PM

#

what did you think the git part of github was? 🤔

hidden haven Feb 23, 2023, 1:13 PM

#

like corn and cornhub

steady solar Feb 23, 2023, 1:14 PM

#

github desktop is just a GUI for git made for github which is a remote host for git repositories

hidden haven Feb 23, 2023, 1:14 PM

#

how do I fix my problem though?

#

make sure you've not already committed the files by the way, git will keep tracking them until you've deleted them
you also probably want to make sure to commit the gitignore before attempting to make any other commits

#

i dont think ive commited, since it didnt let me

#

oh

#

commit the gitignore

#

nope

#

still 21k+ changes

#

twas the same without the gitignore

steady solar Feb 23, 2023, 1:17 PM

#

well if your gitignore is still wrong that's probably not helping

git is a protocol. It can be accessed from cmd line or a gui interface.

hidden haven Feb 23, 2023, 1:18 PM

#

ok

#

peepoNoted

#

I don't have GHD, but can you right mouse click on something (eg: the library FOLDER) and is there an option to add it to the gitignore ?

hidden haven Feb 23, 2023, 1:19 PM

#

its a mess here

#

safe beacon Feb 23, 2023, 1:20 PM

#

first just right mouse click on ANYTHING and see if there is an option to add it to the gitignore

hidden haven Feb 23, 2023, 1:20 PM

#

how am i gonna find the library folder in those 21k things

#

ok

#

yeah

safe beacon Feb 23, 2023, 1:20 PM

#

it's in alphabetical order..

hidden haven Feb 23, 2023, 1:20 PM

#

it is

#

there is an option

safe beacon Feb 23, 2023, 1:20 PM

#

ok, go find the library folder.. add it to the gitignore, then look at the gitignore and see what it looks like for this addition

hidden haven Feb 23, 2023, 1:21 PM

big brain

hidden haven Feb 23, 2023, 1:22 PM

#

safe beacon ok, go find the library folder.. add it to the gitignore, then look at the gitig...

well, there is no library here

#

it is, but its not only the library

safe beacon Feb 23, 2023, 1:22 PM

#

what's ignore.conf 🤔

hidden haven Feb 23, 2023, 1:23 PM

#

no clue

#

maybe from plastic

safe beacon Feb 23, 2023, 1:23 PM

#

anyway, just ignore that annotation manager then

hidden haven Feb 23, 2023, 1:23 PM

#

ok

#


csre/Library/AnnotationManager

#

this is it now, all of those old lines are gone

steady solar Feb 23, 2023, 1:24 PM

#

adding just Library/ or [Ll]ibrary/ to the gitignore would ignore all files named Library or library regardless of how deep in the file structure they are. you've mangled your gitignore or you had already committed the files

hidden haven Feb 23, 2023, 1:25 PM

#

WHOA

#

down to 700 changes

#

from 21k

#

ok, so the solution was to remove the / from each line

#

#

what are asp.net, shaderlab and hlsl?

safe beacon Feb 23, 2023, 1:28 PM

#

hidden haven ok, so the solution was to remove the `/` from each line

Which is what I told you 😄

hidden haven Feb 23, 2023, 1:28 PM

#

safe beacon Which is what I told you 😄

yeah

#

probably commited, because i acutally tried it before

#

or didnt save

#gitignore
