Problem

The .gitignore rules are correct but some files were committed BEFORE .gitignore was added, so they are still tracked.

Tasks

1. Remove pycache from git tracking

git rm -r --cached adapters/__pycache__/

2. Remove monitor.log from git tracking

git rm --cached monitor.log

3. Remove python-dotenv from requirements.txt

python-dotenv is listed as a dependency but is never imported or used anywhere in the code. Remove it from requirements.txt.

4. (Optional) Add .env loading if desired

Either:

Remove the .env file mention from README.md, OR
Add from dotenv import load_dotenv; load_dotenv() to monitor.py and keep python-dotenv

Recommendation: add the dotenv loading — it is useful for local dev.

Git

cd /path/to/flight-monitor
git rm -r --cached adapters/__pycache__/
git rm --cached monitor.log
# edit requirements.txt and monitor.py
git add -A && git commit -m "fix: remove tracked cache/log files, wire up dotenv" && git push

Use remote URL with token: https://otis:<GITEA_TOKEN>@gitea.netcups.al3dev.link/monkey-island/flight-monitor.git
Token in /root/.openclaw/workspace/.gitea-credentials.

When Done

Run: openclaw system event --text "Done: flight-monitor cleanup (issue #3)" --mode now
