I have a .gitinore wich ignore all .docx files. I want to add an exception BUT I just done multiples commits with modification to my .gitignore file and I still can’t see my docx…

The 1th thing I want to know is : “Do I need to commit the .gitignore to see change in my status ?“

And also (bonus question) : Does this rule work ? :

**.docx
!"path/to/my/file with space.docx"

Because I want to “test it” before commiting but nothing ever change in the status and I don’t know if I have done the config the wrong way… I also don’t want to create 1000 commits just to see if it work.. Pointless to me

IMPORTANT : I already used :

``git -rm --cached .

1000 times and I still can’t see my file. I don’t want to read that again pleaase????.

Thanks for your help !
