gitignore with contents /bin will make it ignore files or folders named bin in th esame folder as the . gitignore . If you want to specify that bin should be a folder, then put a trailing slash. To sum it up, using /bin/ will ignore only the bin folder in the same folder of the .
gitignore is a plain text file in which each line contains a pattern for files or directories to ignore. It uses globbing patterns to match filenames with wildcard characters. If you have files or directories containing a wildcard pattern, you can use a single backslash ( \ ) to escape the character.
Git ignore patterns An asterisk is a wildcard that matches zero or more characters. Prepending an exclamation mark to a pattern negates it. If a file matches a pattern, but also matches a negating pattern defined later in the file, it will not be ignored.
I think paths in .gitignore
have their root at the project's root, so you may try /bin
EDIT
And by the way, this is normal behaviour from git.
