🔥 Best Git books:

If you’ve inadvertently committed the .idea folder to your git repo, and don’t want it in there, it’s an easy change to revert. To remove .idea folder from your Git - you can use the next commands:
1. Add .gitignore folder with .idea/ content
2. Execute the next commands:
$ git rm -r --cached .idea
$ git add .gitignore
$ git commit -m '(some message stating you added .idea to ignored entries)'
$ git push

When --cached is given, the staged content has to match either the tip of the branch or the file on disk, allowing the file to be removed from just the index.
