Remove Debug / Binaries from GitHub

I am pretty new to GitHub platform and one of the first mistakes I did earlier on was to commit (unknowingly) the Debug Folders and all its binaries. It was later on i found ways to add ‘gitignore’ files, but no matter what i did, the debug files continued to be reflected in the change list.

The solution was though easy one, I had to run the following command to clear the Git Cache, and then stage-commit again. That cleans up all the mess.

git rm -r . --cached
