appsettings-schema.json keeps popping up as changed in git but shows no changes Do you add it to gitignore?

Hey Dean - ye just add it to your ignore list - it's what I do.

it's already ignored in the umbraco core .gitignore? unless you aren't using that.. Ah but as this is created with the new template it won't get updated if you've updated from 9->10->11 (same as changes in startup.cs/program.cs)

You are right, it is already in gitignore. I wonder why git is flagging it as a changed file?

If it's been committed once then a y changes in the future are tracked even if it's in future git ignores. You have to explicitly tell your git to forget about it... Something like 'git rm ./appsettings-schema.json -C' I think. Please Google the command to get the right version though!

Thanks Nik - I was wondering that. I then usually spend an hour searching which of the 10 places I put the untrack file/folder git command 🙂 Now Chat GPT 🙂

git rm --cached path/to/file.ext
