Just add the exact name you want to the .gitignore, in this case add

_ReSharper

_ is not a special character in .gitignore.

I read your question as asking whether you can ignore all files and directories that contain _ReSharper as a substring of their name, in which case you can add the following line to your .gitignore:

*_ReSharper*

I tried that, maybe the issue is that file already exists in the repo (its a modification), so it will then not get ignored right?

Yes, the documentation for gitignore says "Files already tracked by git are not affected; see the NOTES below for details."
