I have a lot of subfolders and files like node_modules>yargs-parser>README.md. And I wrote node_modules in .gitignore file but when I change something in a file like README.md, git is not ignoring the changes. How can I ignore?
If the file you are trying to ignore is already on the index, you need to remove it first with git rm --cached <file> then you can ignore it in .gitignore
