I'm having some problems making git ignore some undesired files in the push operation to github. First I actually added and committed all files without realizing. Then I created a .gitignore file with the name of the two folders to be ignored. After that I did:
git rm -r --cached data/ __pycache__/
This is then proceeded with
git add *.py
git commit -m "Some message"
However, when I execute
git push origin master
It still tries to send all the contents of the folders data and __pycache__ to the remote directory. How can I stop this and send only the files that I want?
P.S. after the execution of git rm I checked the exclusion of the folders with git check-ignore and it returned the address of both folders (with means that they are set to be ignored)
