问题
I have a few folders in Git added in my ".gitignore" file. They contain over 100k files. Mainly images, tmp and cache stuff. What I need is to be able to commit changes to my code with out committing what happens in those folders.
I thought adding them into the ".gitignore" would do the trick but for some reason it's not working at all. I haven't been able to commit anything to the repo in days because every time I try the push command it tries sending 100k files then it freezes and times out.
root@serveur [/home/***/***]# git push origin master

How can I force Git to reindex the tree while taking in consideration the ignored folders so I can finally commit all the changes I made to the code?

The reason it isn't working is (probably) because you added some of those files before you added the .gitignore - so you have to remove them from git before they're able to be ignored.

First, commit any outstanding code changes, and then, run this command:
git rm -r --cached .
This removes everything from the index, then just run:
git add .
Commit it:
git commit -m ".gitignore is now working"
