I have inherited a Visual Studio project, and the git repo did not include a .gitignore file. I downloaded the one located here https://github.com/github/gitignore/blob/master/VisualStudio.gitignore and pushed it to all branches (we maintain several versions of the project and have a separate branch for each).

However, whenever I open the project in Visual Studio, git is still tracking the .user files generated by VS, even though they are included in the .gitignore file.

Have I missed a step somewhere?

Try to use git rm -r --cached .vs/. After commiting it, you can add visual studio files again, they should be ignoring

What's the directory .user file present in?

Try to check .gitignore has ignored or not by below command. git check-ignore -v -- afile

If still not solving, keep an example with sample file, will give exact commands
