How to remove some files from commit checklist Android Studio?

Issue

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

enter image description here

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 ?

Solution

If you have a gitignore file then add this line

# Built application files
*.apk
*.ap_
*.aab

# Files for the ART/Dalvik VM
*.dex

# Java class files
*.class

# Generated files
bin/
gen/
out/

# Gradle files
.gradle/
build/

# Local configuration file (sdk path, etc)
local.properties

# Proguard folder generated by Eclipse
proguard/

# Log Files
*.log

# Android Studio Navigation editor temp files
.navigation/

# Android Studio captures folder
captures/

# IntelliJ
*.iml
.idea/workspace.xml
.idea/tasks.xml
.idea/gradle.xml
.idea/assetWizardSettings.xml
.idea/dictionaries
.idea/libraries
.idea/caches

# 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

# Google Services (e.g. APIs or Firebase)
google-services.json

# Freeline
freeline.py
freeline/
freeline_project_description.json

# fastlane
fastlane/report.xml
fastlane/Preview.html
fastlane/screenshots
fastlane/test_output
fastlane/readme.md

or create a .gitignore file in your root folder of project
