I have a project with a .gitignore file that looks like:

*.2007
*.~*
*.identcache*
__history/*
*.drc
*.dproj.local
*.groupproj.local
*.exe
*.map
*.tvsconfig
LibrarySupport/*
z*/*
*ModelSupport*
*.zip
.DS_Store
*.mp4
*.orig
*.cbk
*.dcu

Yet it continues to track .dcu files in my project.

What am I doing wrong here?

    If the file was already tracked before the .gitignore was added (or updated) it will continue to have changes tracked.

    Try something like find . -name "*.dcu" -exec git rm --cached {} \; to get rid of the ones that exist in the repository already.
