    Let's say we have a file that was inadvertently added to our repository:

    stackoverflow$ echo this file is important > junkfile
    stackoverflow$ git add junkfile
    stackoverflow$ git ci -m 'added a file'
    

    At some point, we realize that the file is unimportant so we add it to our .gitignore file:

    stackoverflow$ echo junkfile >> .gitignore
    stackoverflow$ git ci -m 'ignore junkfile' .gitignore
    

    Later on, we make some changes to that file:

    stackoverflow$ sed -i 's/ is / is not/' junkfile 
    

    And of course, even though the file is listed in .gitignore, we have already told git that we want to track it, so git status shows:

    stackoverflow$ git status
    # On branch master
    # Changes not staged for commit:
    #   (use "git add <file>..." to update what will be committed)
    #   (use "git checkout -- <file>..." to discard changes in working directory)
    #
    #   modified:   junkfile
    #
    no changes added to commit (use "git add" and/or "git commit -a")
    

    We need to remove this file from the repository (without removing the file from our work tree). We can do this with the --cached flag to git rm:

    stackoverflow$ git rm --cached junkfile
    rm 'junkfile'
    

    This stages the delete operation...

    stackoverflow$ git status
    # On branch master
    # Changes to be committed:
    #   (use "git reset HEAD <file>..." to unstage)
    #
    #   deleted:    junkfile
    #
    

    ...so we need to commit it:

    stackoverflow$ git commit -m 'removed junkfile from repository'
    [master 19f082a] removed junkfile from repository
     1 file changed, 1 deletion(-)
     delete mode 100644 junkfile
    

    Now if we run git status git will ignore this file:

    stackoverflow$ git status
    # On branch master
    nothing to commit, working directory clean
    

    Even though it's still here in our working tree:

    stackoverflow$ cat junkfile 
    this file is not important

    Struggled with this for a few hours, tried a number of things including the suggestions here - to no avail... what finally worked for me was to create the .gitignore file when setting up the repo within bitbucket.org, pulled that file to my local, pasted the exact same contents of the file I was trying to create on my own, and it is finally all working now.
