I have the following file structure and seem to be doing something wrong with handling the gitignore. I am trying to make sure variable.js is not pushed but despite it being listed under gitignore, it is still showing up on github. Could someone please tell me what I am doing wrong here?

You need to provide file/folder name you want to ignore. In your case variable.js - it will ignore every file in your project that is variable.js.
If you only want to ignore file in root folder, add /variable.js to gitignore
edit: try to delete (move) file then commit changes. this should do the trick

That didn't seem to help. Also I tried git rm --cached varibale.js and it told me it didnt match any of the file names – TNT928 Jun 13 '21 at 13:30

@TNT928 Did you find a solution to it? I have a folder that I have put in gitignore but files inside it always show up anyway. – mfs Dec 25 '21 at 13:03
