.gitignore is already registered in the repository. 'git rm --cached &&
git commit' would commit its deletion (even though the file would remain
on disk because of '--cached').

The 'git rm' part should be self-evident, isn't it?

 No, not with " --cached ". It only removes the file from the git "cache"
(i.e. staging area)


 Maybe this can clarify my point better.
