Please summarize the issue in the title, and then use the template below to fill out the details so we can reproduce the issue on our end.

Description

[Github for Windows Desktop continually tried to upload a large file, even though I exclude it using the right-click, ignore option, and the results of this action is stored in the .gitignore file]

Version

What version of GitHub Desktop are you running? This is displayed under the About GitHub Desktop menu item. If you are running from source, include the commit by running git rev-parse HEAD from your local repository.

GitHub Desktop version: [0.6.2]

The operating system you are running on may also help with reproducing the issue:

• If you are on macOS, launch About This Mac and write down the OS version listed.
• If you are on Windows, open Command Prompt and attach the output of this command*: cmd /c ver

OS version: [Windows 10 Pro Insider Preview build 16232 (slow ring, latest)]

Steps to Reproduce

1. [Deselect the file in the left page (untick it)]
2. [Commit to master]
3. [Push origin]
4. [Wait for ages for it to try uploading the file]
5. [= fail]

If the issue involves a specific public repository, including the information about that repository will make it is easier to recreate the issue.

If you think screenshots or a GIF recording will help demonstrate the issue better, feel free to add them here.

Expected behavior: [Fast simple upload to Github]

Actual behavior: [Sends all the files I think except for the large file]

Reproduces how often: [Every time]

Logs

There may be some relevant information in log files generated by GitHub Desktop:

• If you are on macOS, attach the most recent log file from: ~/Library/Application Support/GitHub Desktop/logs/*.desktop.production.log
• If you are on Windows, attach the most recent log file from: %APPDATA%\\GitHub Desktop\\logs\\*.desktop.production.log

The log files are organized by date, so see if anything was generated for today’s date.

Additional Information

If you are dealing with a performance issue or regression, attaching a Timeline profile of the task will help the developers understand the runtime behavior of the application on your machine.

We should add an option to stop tracking ignored files.

I think the issue you are experiencing is due to the file being in the repository already. Ignoring the file does not stop tracking it in Git. As a workaround, you can manually un-track the file by running git rm --cached <file>.
