.gitignore *.user ignoring new files

Question

I have a .NET project in Visual Studio 2019 and am using a git repo via Azure Dev Ops to track the code.

I have noticed that when I add a new file to the project, in this case .cs files, they are being ignored.

I ran:

git check-ignore -v filename

This told me that the line in the .gitignore it had a problem with was with *.user

Does anyone know why this is this causing .cs files to be ignored?

Removing it fixes the issue.

You can see this in the default file for Visual Studio: https://github.com/github/gitignore/blob/master/VisualStudio.gitignore

Answer 1

The issue was that in my folder path I had the word user. It was ignoring anything after that.
