      <description>&lt;p&gt;As developers, we&amp;rsquo;ve all been there. You&amp;rsquo;ve added a file or folder to your &lt;code&gt;.gitignore&lt;/code&gt;, but Git keeps tracking it anyway. What gives? Let&amp;rsquo;s dive into why this happens and how to fix it.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;h2 id=&#34;the-problem&#34;&gt;The Problem&lt;/h2&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;You&amp;rsquo;ve added a file or directory to your &lt;code&gt;.gitignore&lt;/code&gt;, but Git still tracks it. You might be thinking, &amp;ldquo;Hey Git, I told you to ignore this!&amp;rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;h2 id=&#34;why-it-happens&#34;&gt;Why It Happens&lt;/h2&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Here&amp;rsquo;s the catch: the &lt;code&gt;.gitignore&lt;/code&gt; file only prevents untracked files from being added to the set of tracked files. It doesn&amp;rsquo;t magically remove files that are already being tracked by Git.&lt;/p&gt;</description>
