Please add the .gitignore file to your repo. You can see a sample .gitignore file at:

Thank you for raising this concern. I have had the gitignore file at the root of my repo for quite some time now but I have noticed that it does not actually ignore the files that are listed. I'm still trying to figure out why this is happening.

The fix is simple @peter-michalski. You just need to change the file name to .gitignore, not gitignore. The idea of the dot is to make the file a hidden file so that it doesn't show up by default when doing a folder listing.
