Hello,
In a sentence, I cannot get Git to not track a .metadata file. How would I correct this?
Please see .txt files as the mail system would not allow me to mail it.
I can say that I did try running: git clean -n
I realize that the -n is for a dry run but it did not return anything anyway.
I am using:
git version 2.10.1 (Apple Git-78)
OS X El Capitan version 10.11.6
Thanks,
Mark Wartman

I have cloned a repository that a particular .metadata file was pushed too. This .metadata file seems to be causing me many git conflicts and other issues with Eclipse.
So lets say I had a folder named rev. I navigated into the folder rev which there was nothing in there to start with. I ran the command:
git clone https://github.com/BenArayathel/0427Java.git
So now 0427Java lives inside of rev
Then inside of 0427Java there is folder called usf-batch-workspace
Inside of usf-batch-workspace are java projects that I and my fellow batch-mates work on. I have a .gitignore in all three of:
java-project, usr-batch-workspace, and 0427Java and all three .gitignoreâs are the same.
I suppose hierarchically it might look like:
rev <---------( regular folder not tracked )
0427Java
usr-batch-workspace
java-project
Inside my .gitignore I have used these:
/.metadata/
/usf-batch-workspace/.metadata/*
**/.metadata/*
# Created by https://www.gitignore.io/api/eclipse
# Edit at https://www.gitignore.io/?templates=eclipse
### Eclipse ###
.metadata
# as well as the rest of the provided template
