First create a .gitignore file where we have to store the names of files and directories to be ignored. To ignore a directory;

name_of_directory/ 

To ignore a file;

name_of_file 

We don't need to provide the complete path of the file or directory to be ignored, we just have to provide its name.

If you want to ignore all files with same extention;

*.pyc #will ignore all files with pyc extention 

EDIT:

Also the above things will only work at the first time when you have not added the files to the git. But if my mistake you added a file to the git and now you want it to be ignored for the rest of the commits, you need to first clear the git cache regarding that file by running this command;

git rm -r --cached <path_of_the_file> 

And rest is same, i.e, add the name to the .gitignore file.
