Dear Support Team,

I am facing another issue with Git. Please find attached the .gitignore file that I am currently using. My intention is to ignore all the files inside any Debug folder, except for .map, .hex and .bin files. Yet, a .out file is not ignored, as shown in the second attachment.

I checked that there are no other .gitignore files except for the one in the main Git directory (that is attached here).

What is not working? I thank you in advance.

Freundliche Grüße / Kind regards i.A. Federico Celestino Entwicklungsingenieur

I don't see anything obviously wrong in your .gitignore, and I couldn't reproduce your problem with a simple attempt[1]. However, note that files which are already tracked in the repository will not be ignored (nor will they be listed by check-ignore). Is it possible that the file in question is already in the index (try grepping the output of "git ls-files")?

[1] Please consider cutting-and-pasting from the terminal instead of
    attaching a screenshot. It's much easier to read, and allows people
    to try to reproduce the issue without re-typing that horrifically
    long filename.
