Why is .gitignore deleting files from my projects repository?
I placed some files in the .gitignore and now it's deleting files and entire folders from the project's repo.
Anyone knows how and why is this happening?
Thanks!

Something else is happening, because files specified in .gitignore are not acted on by Git.
If you did a 'git clean' then files in '.gitignore' are not deleted. However they are deleted if you enter 'git clean -x'.
