I have .gitignore in learning_python folder,
need to add .ipynb_checkpoints folder to .gitignore.
.ipynb folder location:
learning_python/python_crash_course/.ipynb_checkpoints/
You can simply add in your .gitignore at the top folder of the repositry:
.ipynb_checkpoint/
The OP Jay reports in the comments using:
**/.ipynb_checkpoint/
It will ignore any .ipynb_checkpoint/ subfolder.
See also "Difference between .gitignore rules with and without trailing slash like /dir and /dir/".
But you need first to remove that folder from the repo (it is is already tracked, adding it to .gitignore would have no effect)
git rm --cached -r python_crash_course/.ipynb_checkpoints
Check that it is working with:
git check-ignore -v -- path/to/.ipynb_checkpoint/aFile
Example:
D:\git>git clone https://github.com/r46j/learning_python

D:\git>cd learning_python

D:\git\learning_python\python_crash_course>mkdir .ipynb_checkpoint

D:\git\learning_python>git check-ignore -v -- python_crash_course\.ipynb_checkpoint\dummy
.gitignore:1:.ipynb_checkpoint/ "python_crash_course\\.ipynb_checkpoint\\dummy"
If it does, add, commit (to record the deletion) and push.
