That actually was a solution to your problem, not a workaround.

If we go into detail of what might have actually happened, the `.idea` folder must've been tracked before getting a mention in the `.gitignore`. Now, the thing is that `.gitignore` ignores only those patterns/files which were not tracked since their addition in it. So most probably, this would have been the case with `.idea` as well.

And yes, you might have added those files before accidentally, maybe when you did a `git add .` or something alike.
