How do I fix this error with Git

ALL,

Igors-MacBook-Air:dbhandler igorkorot$ cat .gitignore | grep ipch
dbhandler/ipch/

Igors-MacBook-Air:dbhandler igorkorot$ git rm -r dbhandler/ipch

Igors-MacBook-Air:dbhandler igorkorot$ git push
warning: push.default is unset; its implicit value is changing in
Git 2.0 from 'matching' to 'simple'. To squelch this message
and maintain the current behavior after the default changes, use:

  git config --global push.default matching

To squelch this message and adopt the new behavior now, use:

  git config --global push.default simple

See 'git help config' and search for 'push.default' for further information.
(the 'simple' mode was introduced in Git 1.7.11. Use the similar mode
'current' instead of 'simple' if you sometimes use older versions of Git)

 ! [remote rejected] master -> master (pre-receive hook declined)
error: failed to push some refs to 'https://github.com/oneeyeman1/dbhandler.git'

The trouble is that dbhandler/ipch is part of .gitignore, but "git push" is still trying to push those to the remote.

Or am I misunderstanding something and I need to do something else?

Thank you.

[EDIT]

That command fails:

Igors-MacBook-Air:dbhandler igorkorot$ git filter-branch --index-filter 'git rm --cached dbhandler/ipch'
Rewrite f594d547c7f8354048d5df8b8b3e9a038b2be38a (1/97)fatal: pathspec 'dbhandler/ipch' did not match any files

You already have the large files in a previous commit. Due to the way git works, all versions of all files must be stored in the repository. Your best option is to erase the files from history using git fiter-branch:

$ git filter-branch --index-filter 'git rm --cached --ignore-unmatch dbhandler/ipch'

This will take all commits on the current branch and edit them, running

$ git rm --cached dbhandler/ipch
$ git commit --amend

on each. Then run

$ git push -f

as history has been rewritten. Note that this will interfere with other people working on these commits as the new commits, although with the same description, have nothing to do with the old ones (similar to git rebase).

Alternatively, the selected files can only be removed from some commits:

$ git filter-branch ... 0123abcd..HEAD

will run only on commits from 0123abcd to HEAD inclusive. If 0123abcd has not been pushed yet, a simple git push will succeed.
