you want the file not be tracked across everyone's repositories create a pattern as below in .gitignore file. This file can either be in root directory of you application or a the directory you .cpp and .exe files are in.

*.exe

If you want .exe files to be ignored for only you. Then you can put above pattern in .git/info/exclude
