Git is not adding files

Question

I am trying to add some files to the staging area. But git isn't responding. What am I doing wrong?

This is what I get when I am querying for the current status

(web) roy@desktopL:~/Workspace/kpr-admin-db$ git status
On branch master
Your branch is ahead of 'origin/master' by 1 commit.
  (use "git push" to publish your local commits)

Changes not staged for commit:
  (use "git add/rm <file>..." to update what will be committed)
  (use "git checkout -- <file>..." to discard changes in working directory)

        deleted:    .~lock.callLog.csv#
        modified:   db.sqlite3
        modified:   dbaccess/models.py
        modified:   dbaccess/models.pyc
        modified:   volunteers.csv

    Untracked files:
      (use "git add <file>..." to include in what will be committed)

        dbController.py

    no changes added to commit (use "git add" and/or "git commit -a")

When I'm trying to add

(web) roy@desktopL:~/Workspace/kpr-admin-db$ git add *
The following paths are ignored by one of your .gitignore files:
dbController.pyc
Use -f if you really want to add them.
fatal: no files added

Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

First of all to add all files you have to use:

# add new, removed and updated files
# -A is alias for `git add . && git add -u`
git add -A .

Note

With Git 2.0, git add -A is default.

Copied from the above release notes:

git add <path> is the same as git add -A <path> now, so that git add dir/ will notice paths you removed from the directory and record the removal. In older versions of Git, git add <path> used to ignore removals. You can say git add --ignore-removal <path> to add only added or modified paths in , if you really want to.

In your case you have the file in your .gitignore file so you have to remove it from the file.

If you want to add recently created, deleted and updated files, use git add -A

Note : git add -A do not add files which are mentioned in .gitignore. You have to remove it from there.
