Try making your own gitignore
You just need a normal text file in the root of the git repo named ".gitignore" and then you can write entire patterns of ignored files there e.g.:
".idea" would ignore the entire .idea folder
And "*.o" would ignore every file ending in the .o extension
Your git IDE should reflect the changes to gitignore, but if it doesn't try restarting -
@Hazarth Thanks. I actually already had a gitignore file...but I hadn't uploaded it to the main root :S
Ahhhh, that's better :D -
@johnmelodyme I like it

@ojt-rant me too

@rov3rand0m no. they are only ticked because I clicked "select all" to see what options I had.
Believe it or not, I'm new to Github.
I only want to commit the main project files to my branch (not all the automated files that occurred when I exported the project)
question - how do I safely get rid of the visible list of "changed files" that I don't want to commit? Can I just "discard changes", or does this actually do something to the files?
I selected "ignore all XXX selected files (add to .gitignore)" but it has neither added to gitignore nor removed them from the list.
I mean, I could just leave these files in the list of "Changes"...but my OCD doesn't like a list of files in my face.
