title: Following untracked working tree files?
body: <p>I am coming across an issue where I try to git pull to update the branches on my computer from the repo to my computer and I come across this issue. </p>
  
  <pre><code>error: The following untracked working tree files would be overwritten by merge: binaries/* 
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I created a .gitignore file to ignore this folder and it's contents when pushing and pulling to and from the repo, but I guess it's not working. What would be considered a best practice to fix this issue so it doesn't abort every time I try to git pull to update the branches? (Through the terminal)</p>
