GitHub source and gitignore

Hi all,

I cloned a fresh UE4 repo to my OS X workstation, ran the setup.command that pulled the binary content and when I look in the GitHub desktop app (or GitKraken) I see a ton of new adds (.ddl, .png, .exe, and etc) show up in my status.
All these files should be filtered out by .gitignore, whats more if I go to the shell and run git status I see no changes to my local branch as I would expect.
So I’m a littler confused why command line git is doing the right thing but GitHub and GitKraken apps are not respecting gitignore…

Has anyone experienced something like this?

I have an outstanding support ticket with GitKraken about how it is seemingly ignoring (womp womp) the .gitignore. I’ve just been using the command line in the interim.

Thanks, it seems not to like the ignore all then re-add approach of UE4 .gitignore.
SourceTree works fine so I’ll stick with that when I need a GUI client.
