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")? -Peff [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.
