.gitignore can be in any folder inside your git repository. And the patterns in .gitignore of child folder will overwrite the ones in parent folder.

It may be hidden when you use ls in your Git Bash. Just use ls -a.

From the doc:

Patterns read from a .gitignore file in the same directory as the path, or in any parent directory, with patterns in the higher level files (up to the toplevel of the work tree) being overridden by those in lower level files down to the directory containing the file. These patterns match relative to the location of the .gitignore file.
