by:</p><pre><code class="bash language-bash">$ git add bin/README.md
The following paths are ignored by one of your .gitignore files:
bin
hint: Use -f if you really want to add them.
hint: Turn this message off by running
hint: &quot;git config advice.addIgnoredFile false&quot;</code></pre><p>confused, i ran a simple <code>grep</code> on the projects <code>.gitignore</code>:</p><pre><code class="bash language-bash">$ grep bin .gitignore
</code></pre><p>which yielded nothing. i was pretty sure i didnt have that pattern set in my global gitignore, either.</p><p>a quick internet search turned up a git util that is new to me:</p><p><a href="https://git-scm.com/docs/git-check-ignore">https://git-scm.com/docs/git-check-ignore</a></p><p>using this command, i was able to trace the exact line responsible:</p><pre><code class="bash language-bash">git check-ignore -v bin
.gitignore:123:[Bb]in bin</code></pre><p>ohhhhh, oops. well, that makes sense. neat! this couldve been solved with a more sophisticated <code>grep</code> pattern, but who has time for that?</p></div><div class="metadata"><div class="date" title="Zettel date"><time datetime="2021-03-19T09:30">2021-03-19</time></div></div></article><nav class="ui attached segment deemphasized bottomPane" id="neuron-tags-pane"><div><span class="ui basic label zettel-tag" title="Tag">git</span></div></nav><nav class="ui bottom attached icon compact inverted menu black" id="neuron-nav-bar"><!--replace-start-9--><a class="item" href="." title="Home"><i class="home icon"></i></a><!--replace-end-9--><a class="item" href="https://github.com/thermokarst/zettel/edit/main/./72e6c820.md" title="Edit this page"><i class="edit icon"></i></a><a class="right item" href="impulse.html" title="Open Impulse"><i class="wave square icon"></i></a></nav></div></div><!--replace-end-6--><!--replace-end-3--><!--replace-end-2--><div class="ui center aligned container footer-version"><div class="ui tiny image"><a href="https://neuron.zettel.page"><img alt="logo" src="https://raw.githubusercontent.com/srid/neuron/master/assets/neuron.svg" title="Generated by Neuron 1.9.35.3" /></a></div></div></div></body></html>
