Files .log on gitignore

[bagb]

Hi,

I am using Unity 2020.3.21f1 and I add to the .gitignore file to ignore it.

After this, on the GitHub desktop, I still see those files to need a commit.

Is it normal this?

And one more question these files it is good to ignore or not?

these files it is good to ignore or not?

You should ignore the entire Logs folder as per: https://github.com/github/gitignore/blob/master/Unity.gitignore

You should ignore the entire Logs folder as per: gitignore/Unity.gitignore at main · github/gitignore · GitHub

Thank you.

I tried this but the .log files are still there.

This is probably because git wont ignore files that have been tracked in the past. I saw a post on stackflow where they talk about a solution to this git - Apply .gitignore on an existing repository already tracking large number of files - Stack Overflow

Thank you!

I will try it at the next repo.
