In order to move the files whose names match patterns give in .gitignore , try the following loop:

while read pattern; do
   echo mv $pattern /var/tempdir
done < .gitignore

If the output of this loop looks like the correct list of commands, remove the word "echo" and run the loop again to actually move the files.
