Include the path in your .gitignore file

Thank you very much.

Like this:

.Rproj.user
.Rhistory
.RData
.Ruserdata
my_folder_that_I_want_to_hide

Or do I need to put a dot before the name of the folder?

You have to use the relative path of the folder (relative to your project's working directory), if the path includes a dot like in those folders, then obviously you have to include it.
