How to use gitignore in Pycharm?

Similar questions like this one about how to ignore files in a git repo are typically answered by showing which git command to execute on the command line. Even this one, although it is PyCharm specific, does the same.

Is there a way to manage this file through the PyCharm GUI?

Solution

  • Try:

    1. Go to Settings
    2. Go to Plugins
    3. Search for: .ignore
    4. Install
    5. Restart PyCharm

    .gitignore should now be included in .ignore along with .hgignore etc.
