Unity, Git: local ignore file not ignoring anything

Question

I have a .gitignore file copied from here in the root of my repository, but none of the specified files or directories are being ignored. I have reverted back to right after the initial commit, added the .gitignore file, created a new unity project, and immediately had 90 added files mostly in the /Library directory. All of the files are new, so the problem is not that it is not removing newly-ignored files. Am I missing some step where I point git to the ignore file? In the past I have not had to deal with anything like that. Is the local ignore file overridden by a global one?

Answer 1

Becuase of this [core] excludesfile = ~/.gitignore

you can put the gitignore in other folders, as the same time, you must config the config file .git/config

All your config is in it.
