How can i ignore plugin's cache files changes with the help of .gitignore file.

I have added a .gitignore file to ignore some plugin dll changes in my project. I am able to ignore Dll changes but still, I get lots of plugin's cache file changes. So is there any way to fix this thing.? any help would be great support for me.

You should be able to just add this to your .gitignore-file:

*.[Cc]ache

If the files are already tracked, you will need to remove them from the index with:

git rm --cached <file>

Thank you for your reply, I had added that line my .gitignore file and can you please tell me from which command I would be able to remove .cache files from a particular folder?

----> this is my .gitignore file looks like...

Unfortunately I have no where to test this out at the moment, and don't want cause any work getting lost for you.

I think this might be what you are looking for if there are a lot of files needed to be removed oppose to remove them one by one: https://stackoverflow.com/a/49969162

Ok, thanks.!

Hi all
for any one still facing with this problem, here is my solution:
adding these lines to end of your .gitignore file:

# NOPCOMMERCE Ignore setting
*.[Cc]ache
/Presentation/Nop.Web/Plugins/*
!.gitkeep
/Presentation/Nop.Web/App_Data/plugins.json
/Presentation/Nop.Web/App_Data/dataSettings.json

Notes:
0. It's better to commit your changes before modifying .gitIgnore file
1. after adding, you should run below command from your command lines (such as GitBash):
   1.1. git rm -r --cached .
   1.2 git add .
2. Add a file (in most cases .gitkeep) to keep your /Presentation/Nop.Web/Plugins folder to prevent GIT to ignore it. ( by default git ignore empty folders)
