Yet, when I view the list of unstaged changes, I see there some files under the .gradle/ folder:
Why aren't these files ignored like other .gradle files?
If they were already committed before adding the .gitignore you'll need to untrack them. Does Ignore files that have already been committed to a Git repository help?

I have a problem with the .gitignore file in my Multiplayer Unity game project (consists of a game server and a client project in a single repository). The .gitignore file ignores most of the files, but not the binary files from the library artifacts.
Image of binary files showing in Github Desktop.
I know the .gitignore file works because if I remove it there is 30000 changed files and 8000 without removing it.

hehe i think your answer is on the first line of the .gitignore
This .gitignore file should be placed at the root of your Unity project directory
All of those ignore paths without a preceeding / are only relative to the location of the .gitignore. It works like so:
Will ignore:
./Build/myBinary
Will not ignore:
./project1/Build/myBinary
./project2/Build/myBinary
Simplest solution is to duplicate your .gitignore and place one of each at the root of each project directory, not the repo directory.
Your directory should look like this:
myRepo
project1
.gitignore
Assets
...
project2
.gitignore
Assets
...
As mentioned, if files in these directories have already been committed they will need to be removed manually.
To be sure, assuming there are only binaries in this folders, try and delete them (from the Git index only, not from your disk), and check immediately (no commit needed) if your .gitignore applies.
cd /path/to/repo
git rm -r --cached path/to/folder/with/binaries/ # note the trailing slash
git check-ignore -v path/to/folder/with/binaries/aBinary # must be a file
If the last command does not return anything, then no .gitignore rule applies.
I'm using gitignore.io to generate a .gitignore file, using unity and visual studio as search terms. However, after uploading it to my repo, i realized that the *.meta files are not uploaded. It seems to be ignored, which shouldn't be the case as ![Aa]ssets/**/*.meta should never ignore any .meta files in any folder under the Assets folder.
Edit: this .gitignore is placed in the root of my repo.
Below is the generated file.

The problem is .gitignore is processed sequentially. Somewhere below your Never ignore Asset metadata line, you have
# Files built by Visual Studio
*_i.c
*_p.c
*_h.h
*.ilk
*.meta
...
Placing your Never ignore rule at the bottom of the .gitignore will let it activate.
Source: Gitignore documentation (emphasis mine)
Each line in a gitignore file specifies a pattern. When deciding whether to ignore a path, Git normally checks gitignore patterns from multiple sources, with the following order of precedence, from highest to lowest (within one level of precedence, the last matching pattern decides the outcome):
I am trying to make git ignore the opencv2.framework I have imported into my project. However, even though I am adding opencv2.framework into my .gitignore, every time I run git status on my terminal, all the opencv2.framework files are showing up as new files. Could anybody help? Thanks! This is what my .gitignore file looks like: (I wrote opencv2.framework under ##Various Settings)

Just in case, see if git status changes after:
cd /path/to/my/repo
git rm -r --cached opencv2.framework/
If it does (and you don't see anymore opencv2.framework/ files), commit your current state.
You need to execute the git rm -r --cached:
in the parent repo of the folder to remove (parent of opencv2.framework/).
Do add and commit (and eventually push), in order to record that deletion from the git repo (but not from the disk, thanks to the --cached option);
in order to delete those tracked files, as a .gitignore rule only applies to untracked files.
Im building an Ionic 2 application. Version control will be made through SVN.
When creating the app using ionic CLI many files are generated. Same happens when adding platforms.
Is there any standard approach defining which files to include in Version Controls and which ones to ingnore. (I.E. i think platforms folder should be ignored).
You can always take a look at the conference app to see how Ionic team recommends to do things. In this case the .gitignore file looks like this:
# Specifies intentionally untracked files to ignore when using Git
# http://git-scm.com/docs/gitignore

In our semester group we are using eclipse as an IDE for developing a Compiler. The issue is when it comes to git. Which files are okay to be ignored and which are crucial. It works fine on my computer, but when it is synced with git and another member from the group is trying to use the workspace, there always seem to be some errors about main not showing or a package is wrong.
Bottom line: What is okay, and what is not okay to include in .gitignore file, so that every group member is able to compile the project?
I think the best solution is to generate .gitignore for yourself by gitignore.io.
Just choose tools that you used.
It depends on your requirement.
Usually Compiled source,Packages, Logs and databases, Eclipse specific files/directories are removed from git push. Also can keep configuration in separate(property) file.It is easy to place project in a different environment.
This is a sample gitignore file
