Git java eclipse stop tracking .recommenders
Posted on 2014-12-25
I haven't had this problem before Eclipse Luna (I updated from Kepler just few days ago).
Although I added to .recommenders to .gitignore it keeps tracking it.
Here is my .gitignore file:
If I do git rm -rf --cached it removes it, but soon starts tracking again - as soon as my colleague makes changes in his files and push it on Bitbucket and I do pull.
How should I fix this problem permanently?

Sounds like the files are already committed and pushed to BitBucket, .gitignore won't help you with that. Try this...
- First, save a copy of those .recommenders files if you need to keep them.
- Pull the latest from BitBucket.
- Remove the entry for .recommenders from .gitignore
- Delete the entire .recommenders folder
- Stage, commit & push those deletions to BitBucket.
- Now add the entry in .gitignore back in.
- Also, go to your colleagues PC and pull the same changes down. Ensure that there is no .recommenders folder on their machine and then double check that their .gitignore has the entry and is spelt correctly.
Hopefully, you should be right now!
