<p><p>As developers, we’ve all been there. You’ve added a file or folder to your <code>.gitignore</code>, but Git keeps tracking it anyway. What gives? Let’s dive into why this happens and how to fix it.</p>
<h2 id="the-problem">The Problem</h2>
<p>You’ve added a file or directory to your <code>.gitignore</code>, but Git still tracks it. You might be thinking, “Hey Git, I told you to ignore this!”</p>
<h2 id="why-it-happens">Why It Happens</h2>
<p>Here’s the catch: the <code>.gitignore</code> file only prevents untracked files from being added to the set of tracked files. It doesn’t magically remove files that are already being tracked by Git.</p></p>
