Why does public/_test.php show as being changed?

[Michael@devserver www]$ cat .gitignore
logs
vendor
src/twig
public/_test.php
.env
[Michael@devserver www]$ git status
# On branch master
# Changed but not updated:
#   (use "git add <file>..." to update what will be committed)
#   (use "git checkout -- <file>..." to discard changes in working directory)
#
#       modified:   public/_test.php
#       modified:   server.php
#       modified:   src/App.php
#       modified:   src/ServerApp.php
#       modified:   src/classes/Main.php
#
no changes added to commit (use "git add" and/or "git commit -a")

Have you started to ignore the file once it has already been tracked? – choroba Dec 02 '16 at 16:54
@choroba Possibly. But I don't believe I experience that same behavior with other files which don't start with an underscore. – user1032531 Dec 02 '16 at 16:55
So it has nothing to do with the underscore? Sorry... – user1032531 Dec 02 '16 at 16:58
It's the file beginning with an underscore, I ran into the same problem. Wouldn't even work escaping it with \\_filename – Eric Soyke Dec 05 '19 at 18:43
