Redundant entries added to .gitignore when user selects "Ignore" in the Changes tab menu
See original GitHub issueDescription
From the Changes tab, if the user selects an item (file, directory, etc.) > right clicks > “Ignore”, then a duplicate entry is added to the .gitignore file.
Example:
If the file .DS_Store is marked “Ignore” for, say, 100 times, then 100 copies of .DS_Store entry will be added to the .gitignore file, regardless if it already exists.
Version
GitHub Desktop version: 0.8.0
OS version: OS X El Capitan, version 10.11.6
Steps to Reproduce
- [First step]
- [Second step]
- [and so on]
Expected behavior: Ignore the ignore; check if the file already exists. If it does already exist, ignore the user action (silently or with a message to the user).
Actual behavior: Infinite duplicates of the already-existing .gitignore entry can be created regardless of existing matching entries.
Reproduces how often: Always (not intermittent).

Pretty annoying issue, hope it gets resolved in the next few decades already. Wasted so much time on this already. I thought Github Desktop will make things easier, in fact it does not if you do not follow a workflow they want you to follow ^^
Bump! seems this has been an issue since 2017, is this still being investigated?
