Adding Hello.class to .gitignore will ignore any file called Hello.class in any subdirectory. If you intend to only ignore the file Hello.class in the same directory as the .gitignore file, use a /Hello.class line instead.

@Imray you can put .gitignore anywhere in a git project - if a path starts with /, it will be relative to the location of the .gitignore file; otherwise it will refer recursively to files in the current directory and its descendant directories.
