You have stumbled upon a repository with an existing .gitignore
. However, you
have discovered that the .gitignore
is not as accurate as you would like it to

many/
folder, you
want to un-ignore just many/file22.txt
why_am_i_hidden.txt
should not be hiddenignore_me.txt
should be hiddenrunaway.txt
file in this/

layers of nesting it is under, so use the pattern matching syntax
