.gitignore does not apply to the .cxx folder

Question

I have this .gitignore file in my android project but does not apply to the .cxx folder. I tested everything but failed.

.cxx
app/.cxx
app/.cxx/

We had trouble working with my colleagues on this project as they changed .cxx files each time the project was build.

How can i fix this problem ?

Answer 1

I would try something like:

*.cxx
app/.cxx/*

And before that make sure these files are not already tracked by git, once the file is in, .gitignore does not do anything for that file.
