Dear git,

FUCK YOUR FUCKING FUCK SHIT .GITIGNORE FILE! WHY CAN'T YOU JUST FUCKING REMOVE THE IGNORED FILES FROM THE VCS? EVEN GIT RM --CACHED --FORCE DOES NOT WORK WTF

TL;DR
"git" your shit done.

Yours sincerely

Do you want to delete the files, or just exclude them from the repository?

@tamar I already fixed it by deleting them, because it was just the "vendor" folder from composer (php). I wanted to exclude them from git.

a few things to try (notes for me next time I search google with git and expletives and get this result).

1. ".gitignore" only works if the file is UTF-8 encoded. you can check its encoding by doing `file .gitignore` from the terminal.

3. nuclear option is `git rm -rf --cached .`

4. also could be the naming convention used in the gitignore file
