.gitignore not working
I've been facing this issues a few times but not sure how it actually happened (I guess it has something to do with git caching). Anyway here's the solution to clean up the cache.
git rm -r --cached .
git add .Commit the changes and continue your development journey :)

I believe this happens when you try to ignore a file that's already in the repository.

Correct. By default, .gitignore only ignores new files that haven't been added to the repository.
