When creating the .gitignore file on Windows OS the "" are included in the .gitignore which causes git to not ignore the files.
The following lines in Chapter 1 need to be changed to accomodate Windows users:
From:
$ echo "db.sqlite3" >> .gitignore
$ echo "geckodriver.log" >> .gitignore
$ echo "virtualenv" >> .gitignore
To:
$ echo db.sqlite3 >> .gitignore
$ echo geckodriver.log >> .gitignore
$ echo virtualenv >> .gitignore
