How can I stop pushing files with bin and npy extensions using gitignore?

Question

I have two heavy files weights.bin and perf.npy, like other files to be ignored, I added the following to my gitignore file:

*.bin

*.npy

However, when I try to push them, it still appears on my github? Could you help me with that?

You can try clear cache of git:

git rm -r --cached .
git add .
git commit -am 'git cache cleared'
git push
