.gitignore file itself is not being ignored after an edit
Prior to editing the .gitignore file in a project the following files were displayed when the status was queried:
Wanting to ignore the multiple versions of sandbox Vue files, this was added to the project's .gitignore file at the bottom:
# app files
/src/modules/admin/views/sandbox*.vue
Now when the status is queried the following is displayed:
Why is ../.gitignore being displayed now? What should be changed so that file is not displayed?
This means that .gitignore is a tracked file.... so you changed it, so it shows up as changed. This would be the expected result... and it makes sense. Do you want to ignore .gitignore? This is not quite a good idea because by tracking it, everyone gets to ignore the same things in the project. Now, if you would like to be the only person in the project to be ignoring the files that you started the question from, you might have to consider adding that to .git/info/exclude so that it's only on you and no one else.
