By "is ignored", do you mean that git status doesn't show it? git status
does not recurse into subdirectories by default unless there is at least
one tracked file inside.

If you only want to track a few files it's easiest to ignore everything
and git add those files. Once added they will be tracked no matter what
the ignore patterns say.
