Remove and ignore all files that have an extension from a git repository

Question

I\'m working on a django project with a few other developers and we have recently realized that all the .pwc files in our app cause the commits and repository to be cluttere

Answer 1

You can also use the following:

git rm -r '*.pwc' 

and then make those files ignored by git:

echo '*.pwc' >> .gitignore

The last one is in case if you already have .gitignore file, if not, us single '>' sign.
