Why does .gitignore still sync even though it's added to the exclusions?

Question

git

Actually, it is specified inside the .gitignore file, but it is still synchronized on all machines. We use Bitbucket.
What could be the problem? Already tired of conflicts with .gitignore, when everyone adds his own folder or file inside himself.

Answer 1

The idea of ​​ignoring .gitignore is pretty weird. Its whole point is just to synchronize.
For personal ignores, there is $HOME/.config/git/ignore and $GIT_DIR/info/exclude
Well, yes, a file that git is already watching is not enough to mention in .gitignore. We still need to remove it from the control of the command git rm

Answer 2

git filter-branch --force (so that the directory is not removed from the hard drive)
git filter-branch --tree-filter "rm -rf PATH" HEAD
where PATH is the path to the file/folder
