I think you're confused, although it's hard to tell exactly where. Consider the following:

$ mkdir shortcut
$ cd shortcut

$ touch foo
$ echo foo > .gitignore

$ git init
Initialized empty Git repository in ~/shortcut/.git/

$ git add *
The following paths are ignored by one of your .gitignore files:
foo
Use -f if you really want to add them.
fatal: no files added
