Make life simple — Un-track files added to a git repo

Before you start, write your ignore rules on .gitignore file.

1. Commit all your changes, just to not lose while you try these steps
2. Clear your repo

git rm -r --cached .

3. Add everything back

git add .

4. Commit back

git commit -m ".gitignore fix"

You are good now, you can push the changes to remote.
