nothing added to commit but untracked files present (use "git add" to track)

Where did all these untracked files come from?

Could someone please help me out, not too sure why all these untracked files are here.

All I did was create aliases for sublime and Brackets (subl & brac) and put them in .bashrc, now whenever I use git status all these untracked files add up.

I've only started learning and seem to have already not something wrong!


Solution

  • It looks like you setup a git repository in your user folder. There should be a .git folder in your user directory. Remove that folder to stop tracking the user folder.
