Confused why files in .gitignore are still showing as "Untracked" instead of not showing at all?

[dylanh724]

This is really confusing me because the files that SHOULD be ignored are showing with the files that SHOULD be added:

For example, EmptyDirectoriesRemover.cs should actually be ADDED (not ignored), but it's mixed in with all these Temp/ files that should ignored.

Is my ignore file wrong? Should it be "Temp/" instead of "/Temp/" (remove the prefix "/")?

Thank you !!

It looks good and for me /[Tt]emp/ works fine. What does "git status" show?

[] is supported (by Git).

(Is there an easier way to "git status" than right click repo >> git shell >> type 'git status' in shell?)

git status:

Still show /Temp/ in untracked files. It shouldn't be there at all, if in the .gitignore (right?)

You seem to have ignored path /Temp relative to your repository root, however the root-relative path is actually /i42-tol-win64/Temp . Hence, both /i42-tol-win64/[Tt]emp/ and [Tt]emp/ should work. I would prefer the first one for reasons of simplicity.

OH!! I'm still getting used to git ignores, ahhh... thank you so much.

so /<this_is_root/ because of the "/" at the beginning.

If I put NO "/" prefix, then it just means any folder anywhere within (probably dangerous), hm?

Thanks for help -- I missed that note!
