behaviour of .gitignore
On my local machine, I create a /bin/ directory added some bash scripts, comitted and then pushed them to the repository.
Now today I do a git pull and they are gone but cannot see that anyone deleted them in the git log / history, but there is a /bin/ entry in the .gitignore file.
Does this mean, the files are still in the shared repository (orgin) that I could get them back?
I tried removing /bin/ from the git ignore and doing a pull but my /bin/ directory is still not there.
Is there anyway to do a pull now and have it look at my local gitignore and pull the directory back?
thanks

You should be able to click on that commit in gitk and see that the files were added (confirm you really added them).

If that ignore entry was there when you did the commit then maybe you never really committed them.

The gitk step above will tell you if they are there.

Its not looking like you really committed them like you thought you did.

If the files were really committed, then you should have that commit in
your history also. Therefore, you should be able to 'git checkout' those files into your worktree.

Can you check that "git show --stat" on the commit you did actually shows the files as added?

What does "git log -- bin" say?
What does "git status" say?
