Git ignore doesn’t prevent things from being committed it just prevents them from being “tracked” (for lack of a better word) by default. If you manually explicitly add the file to a commit, and then commit the file will be tracked despite matching the ignore
Ooh, uncomittable files are still honoured. That’s mildly interesting, I can see it being both useful and maddening.

Yeah, poorly worded on my part.
You can always have local ignore files too (like for your personal IDE or whatever)
