def _add_entry_to_gitignore(self, entry, gitignore):
        entry = GitWildMatchPattern.escape(entry)

        with open(gitignore, "a+", encoding="utf-8") as fobj:
            fobj.seek(0, os.SEEK_END)
            if fobj.tell() == 0:
                # Empty file
                prefix = ""
            else:
                fobj.seek(fobj.tell() - 1, os.SEEK_SET)
                last = fobj.read(1)
                prefix = "" if last == "\n" else "\n"
            fobj.write("{}{}\n".format(prefix, entry))
