Ignoring file in Git
We have a java repository which is handled through IntelliJ IDE. We have added a .gitignore file to the root of the repo, containing the following lines among other ones:
.iml
*/*iml
However, after cloning the repo and opening it with IntelliJ, it generates a new file my.project.package.iml which is not ignored by Git, it considers it as an untracked file.
I've also tried to ignore it through git update-index --assume-unchanged my.project.package.iml, but it doesn't take any effect. I've tried removing the file and regenerating it after applying this command, with no effect either.
Could someone explain my what's happening here?
EDIT
It seems that the issue with .gitignore file was that you should put *.imlinstead of just .iml. But what happens with git update-index --assume-unchanged command? Why is it not taking any effect? I'm really curious about that...
