So I forgot to setup a .gitignore before doing my commit and now I have some files in the git I'd rather not be on a public repo. I've checked the site and I can't find where to delete some files. Now I've made a git ignore it no longer updates those files. But they are still there. Any ideas?

  • Nope. Mine doesn't show in the status. But the files are still in GitHub repo because they were commited but now I want them uncommitted lol – Shannon -ThymeTheory- Green May 18 '19 at 05:57
  • You can push another commit removing them or remove them and [amend the existing commit.](https://git-scm.com/docs/git-commit#Documentation/git-commit.txt---amend) – Rafael May 18 '19 at 05:59
