Github not ignoring files under the \bin\ and \obj\ directory

Question

I am interested in Github ignoring some files, especially the debug binaries under the \bin and \obj directory.

My .gitignore is under the \Github\Grasshopper-Tools directory, and inside I have this snippet which theoretically should ignore them:

# Build results
[Dd]ebug/
[Dd]ebugPublic/
[Rr]elease/
x64/
build/
bld/
[Bb]in/
[Oo]bj/

enter image description here

Am I missing anything?

Have you already commited any file inside these directories? — Eduardo Matos, Jan 31 '14 at 14:59
try `git rm --cached -- bin/`. If it works, then do it for all directories that you list in you .gitignore. — Eduardo Matos, Jan 31 '14 at 15:03
Before I do this, could you explain to me what this does? It appears it recursively removes the cached items in bin? — theGreenCabbage, Jan 31 '14 at 15:06
Once you commit a file, .gitignore can't ignore it anymore. The only way you can make it work again (on this file) is when you `git rm` it. The `--cached` flag tell git to remove the file from the repository but keep it on disk. — Eduardo Matos, Jan 31 '14 at 15:12

You need to add * after / for ignore all file inside a directory. In your case, ignore all bin folder will be bin/*

Also, you could use a template for c# project. See this template: https://gist.github.com/kmorcinek/2710267

I have replaced my old one with the one in that link, but it still seems to not ignore them o.O http://puu.sh/6EUbJ/7ad1a6b235.png – theGreenCabbage Jan 31 '14 at 15:08
