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 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.
