I have some deleted files in working directory, These are some library files that are missing. I want git to ignore them. Adding it to .gitignore would not help as they are already being tracked by git

You "have" some "deleted" files? Now what? Do you have them or did you delete them?

For a single file, you can use the following to untract

git rm myfile

In the newer versions of git, those files are automatically untracked with

git add --update
