Is git is ignoring my .gitignore file? If it is can someone tell me the solution? How to fix it Any sort of Help will be helpful. Thank you in advance

Please check if the folder/files is already committed to the repository. If it is, you'll need to remove them first.

Also check if you have global gitignore interfering with the repo.
