Are you tired of dealing with bulky bin and obj files cluttering up your Git repository? Good news - you can easily remove them from being tracked by Git using the .gitignore file! Here's how to do it:
1. Open your .gitignore file: If you don't already have a .gitignore file in your repository, create one in the root directory. If you do have one, open it in a text editor.
2. Add patterns for bin and obj files: Inside the .gitignore file, add patterns to match the bin and obj directories. For example, you can use the following patterns:
```
bin/
obj/
```
These patterns will tell Git to ignore any files and directories with these names within your repository.
3. Save and commit the .gitignore file: Once you've added the patterns for bin and obj files, save the .gitignore file and commit it to your repository. This will ensure that the patterns are applied to your repository and that future bin and obj files will be ignored by Git.
4. Remove existing bin and obj files: Finally, you'll want to remove any existing bin and obj files from your repository. You can do this using the git rm command:
```
git rm -r --cached bin
git rm -r --cached obj
```
This will remove the files from the repository's history without actually deleting the files from your local file system.
By following these steps, you can easily remove bin and obj files from being tracked by Git, making your repository cleaner and more efficient. This can also help reduce the size of your repository and improve its performance. Give it a try and see the difference it can make for your Git workflow!
