[...] What does the word "forgets" precisely mean? Do you see -- all of a sudden -- this file as untracked in the output of `git status`? Then we need more context, like do you switch branches? (The .gitignore file is not special when it comes to tracking it in the repository: if you have N branches by the time you introduce this file, you have to add and commit it on all N branches if you want it to apply to each of them.) Are you collaborating with other folks? If someone deletes that file and you merge those changes in, the file will be deleted. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Git for human beings" group.
