git add modified changes and don't ignore untracked files

First I add folder nbproject to .gitignore

Second I used git rm --cached -r nbproject

When I use git status I have:

`On branch newBranch

Changes to be committed: (use "git reset HEAD ..." to unstage)

modified:   public/css/main.css

Untracked files: (use "git add ..." to include in what will be committed)

nbproject/private/config.properties
nbproject/private/private.properties
nbproject/private/private.xml
nbproject/project.properties
nbproject/project.xml`

And finaly when I use git add ., everything is added

How to do it, do not add what is in gitignore

As per the discussion in the comments on the question, the issue here was a back slash instead of a forward slash was used with the directory name which caused the pattern in the line of the .gitignore file to not refer to the directory as expected

Here is a link to the gitignore documentation. https://git-scm.com/docs/gitignore
