Hey there folks! I'm new here, so please forgive me if this is an already answered question.
I have a repo to which I am about to add some files. In this repo, I have the following hierarchy: README.md package.json src src/things1 src/things.ts src/.eslintrc.json src/thing1.js src/things1/.gitignore src/things1/things2 src/things1/things2/test.js src/things1/things2/.gitignore src/things1/things2/things3 src/things1/things2/test2.js src/things1/things2/things3/test3.js Within src/things1/things2/.gitignore I have the following rule: /test2.js *but*, within src/things1/.gitignore, I have the following rule: things2/.gitignore Using git status --untracked-files --porcelain I see in the results that src/things1/things2/.gitignore is *not* included in the list, which agrees with what I expected to see. However, I *also* do not see src/things1/things2/test2.js which is *not* what I expected. Somehow, the *rules* from src/things1/things2/.gitignore have been applied even though this file will not be checked in. How can this be?? Should not the rules in src/things1/things2/.gitignore have been *ignored*, since it's not going to be checked in? Please advise.
