`.gitignore` is not respected in subdirs

In a monorepo setup, I have a .gitignore in root dir and another in a subdir. The CLI seems to only respect the top one and nothing else.

@pavan-sunkara-qatalog thanks for submitting this issue. Can you please share more information about what version of code references you are running?

2.5.7, I installed the latest from homebrew.

I actually suspect that .gitignore is not being respected completely. My frontend build files were also added as references even though I added the frontend/build dir to the main .gitignore
