Why was the file /ext/nio4r/nio4r_ext.c added to ignore? #279

You're asking a question about a line of a file which was added 10 years ago:

https://github.com/socketry/nio4r/commit/15cab7a09350eb49ed2804f56041585c58dfec35

I believe that was to capture nio4r_ext.so and nio4r_ext.dylib since the shared library can have varying extensions.

Yes, that glob matches nio4r_ext.c, however that was added prior to the .gitignore file and is clearly still in the repository.
