Exclude folder from github

Question

I need to exclude the folder App_Data from my Github but i don\'t know how.

I have a application which saves many files like jpg files in the directory: Source\\MyProjec

In case you need to ignore a whole folder which was already tracked, do not forget to do it recursively with -r.

1. Add foldername/ to .gitignore

2. git rm -r --cached foldername/
