How to use gitignore in Pycharm?

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.

In PyCharm Pro 2019.3, I was able to do this by - right click folder or file I wanted to add to gitignore. - scroll to and click on Git - scroll to and click on Add to .gitignore If a gitignore file is not already there, PyCharm will create one and add it to the main project folder and add your chosen folder/file to it.
