I have below git .gitignore file for wordpress site.


# ignore everything in the root except the "wp-content" directory.
!wp-content/

# ignore everything in the "wp-content" directory, except:
# "mu-plugins", "plugins", "themes" directory
wp-content/*
!wp-content/mu-plugins/
!wp-content/plugins/
!wp-content/themes/

# ignore these plugins
wp-content/plugins/hello.php

# ignore specific themes
wp-content/themes/twenty*/

# ignore node dependency directories
node_modules/

# ignore log files and databases
*.log
*.sql
*.sqlite

Now when I made some change to my wp_config.php file or any other file out of wp-content folder git count the file for change and popup the option to commit the change. I am using VS code editor.

Did you create the .gitignore file after you initialised the repo (ran git init)?

If yes then you need to clear Git's cache. Try run git rm -r --cached . on the command line.
