title: gitignore - fatal: no files added
body: <p>I have an issue with git, more precisely with gitignore.</p>
  
  <p>I have created an empty folder
  Initialized git</p>
  
  <pre><code>mkdir fold
  cd fold
  git init
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Updated gitignore (as below)</p>
  
  <pre><code> *.prjx
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Committed gitignore</p>
  
  <pre><code>git add .gitignore
  git commit -m "update gitignore"
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Now I have several files (among them a .prjx) and folders in my root (fold) and I'd like to add all of them, but when I run</p>
  
  <pre><code>git add *
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I get the message below</p>
  
  <pre><code>The following paths are ignored by one of your .gitignore files:
  ftc.prjx
  Use -f if you really want to add them.
  fatal: no files added
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I don't want to add it, I simply want add all the other files and folders.
  From my understanding .gitignore should handle exactly that so why I get the message above?
  Am I missing something?</p>
