How to remove some files from commit checklist Android Studio?

I would like to commit changes which I did in my AS project. But I see that changeslist contains release folder:

It means that I will commit workable apk file and some config files which were generated during building installer. I can also untick these files but when I will try to make commit at the next time I will see these files again. Maybe I can remove these files totally from my changes list and prevent its appearing at all next times. I think it happens because I tried some commands at the terminal and one command can add these files, I think it was:

git commit --am

So, how I can solve this problem without damaging all project?

UPDATE:

Can I solve my problem with the command:

git rm --app-release.apk ?

For ex.if you want remove all files in package ".idea" - run command:

 git rm --cached -r .idea

**"-r"** - remove recursively all files in the folder.

First Things first:

You can add a .gitignore file to your repository, via terminal, by the commands below:

In Terminal, navigate to the location of your Git repository.
Enter touch .gitignore to create a .gitignore file.

Second, you should pay attention that, If you already have a file checked in and you want to ignore it, Git will not ignore the file if you add a rule later. In those cases, you must untrack the file first, by running the following command in your terminal:

$ git rm --cached FILENAME

First add the file/folder to your .gitignore file (In your case, the app-level one and not the project-level one)

Go to the Terminal in Android Studio and type in these commands:

git rm -r the-directory-to-remove In which case your the-directory-to-remove is the release folder.

The above command will remove the specified directory from git.

git commit -m "Delete release folder"

The above command commits the changes, you can change "Delete release folder" to whatever you like.

git push origin <your-git-branch>

The above command pushes the changes to Github (or BitBucket).

Now, if you want to delete the file from Github/BitBucket ONLY but not from the entire git filesystem, run git rm -r --cached myFolder instead of the first command.

# Keystore files
# Uncomment the following lines if you do not want to check your keystore 
files in.
#*.jks
#*.keystore

# External native build folder generated in Android Studio 2.2 and later
.externalNativeBuild
