So I want to push my cpp codes on github without the .exe file generated.So in my .gitignore file I have added this command : *.exe.But it doesnt't seem to be working as exe files are still there in my code.I am using VSCode to push and track my changes.

Here is screenshot of my directory:

What seems to be the problem?

Were those .exe files already committed? If so, changing the .gitignore doesn't make them disappear. You can delete them, and then any new .exes will be ignored. – user2740650 Dec 31 '21 at 18:21
