When Maven builds the project, it places the output in that folder. After I run a simple mvn install, this folder contains nearly 1500 files.
Also note that the /target/ syntax means the following:
- The leading
/means to only match the path if it starts at the root directory where the repository is checked out. - The trailing
/means to only ignore the directory namedtarget.
In other words, this only ignores a folder named target (exact case-sensitive match) placed in the same location as pom.xml. It will not ignore any file or folder named target anywhere else in the repository.

Oh. Right. I had a .gitignore with a bunch of stuff in it. I'd avoided putting it in the repo because some of what I'm ignoring is local.
