Ignore git directory

We are working on erlang

and chicagoboss

for some projects. ChicagoBoss is the foundation. When we create it project1

, it will look like this:

.
├── cb_admin
├── ChicagoBoss
├── ebin
├── project1
└── vagrant

      

        
        
        
      

    

And we did git init

just for project1

. Later after finishing project1

we created in it another project2

s git init

.

├── cb_admin
├── ChicagoBoss
├── ebin
├── project1
├── project2
└── vagrant

      

        
        
        
      

    

Sometimes when I work in project1

git, the status shows me the following output:

$ git status
On branch develop
Your branch is up-to-date with 'origin/develop'.
Untracked files:
  (use "git add <file>..." to include in what will be committed)

    ../project2/

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

      

        
        
        
      

    

Even if project2

nothing is fixed. Why are unprocessed files appearing? However, to make sure I went into my directory project2

and did git status

:

$ git status
On branch develop
Your branch is up-to-date with 'origin/develop'.
Untracked files:
  (use "git add <file>..." to include in what will be committed)

    ./

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

      

        
        
        
      

    

So, to ignore the line for locals only, I ran the following command with no success:

$ git update-index --assume-unchanged ./
Ignoring path gift_tax/

      

        
        
        
      

    

Can you help me?

• What is displayed there ./
  
  ?
• How can I only ignore it locally, the changes shouldn't reflect my remote directory.
