Need help with ignoring settings.php

[rain13]

Hi!

I have settings.php in root directory (same directory as my .gitignore). I have tried everything. But settings.php still shows up when I commit stuff and when I change it it shows modified as status.

I have tried everything:

.idea/
settings.php
/settings.php
./settings.php

Interesting is that it successfully ignores .idea directory but it doesnt ignore my settings file. Any ideas?

 

Below is screenshot that shows that settings.php is green right now.

I don't see your screenshot, but maybe update Git.  I also have that issue in PhpStorm for one repo, it insists on trying to commit or pull a file on the ignore list.

What do you mean by update git? I have already latest git version. Or you mean run some command line command?

Can you see screenshot when you follow this link:

Git is software that you can download and update like any other software.  If you're using the latest version then that's probably not the issue though.

According to this:

https://git-scm.com/docs/gitignore

Files that are already being tracked won't get ignored if added to that file.  You need to stop the file from being tracked, and then ignore it.
