TortoiseSVN - Ignoring files and folders

Step 1) Right Click on Project Repository

Step 2) Select TortoiseSVN

Step 3) Next Select Settings (Setting Popup will be open)

Step 4) In General tab you will see the Subversion Panel

Step 5) In Subversion panel You will see "Global ignore pattern", add the folder name which you want to ignore.

Step 6) Click on Apply button then Okay.


If you select 'SVN Commit' from the menu, then select the file/folder you will be able to Ignore from there.

Otherwise, you can select 'TortoiseSVN > Properties' and manually add a 'SVN:ignore' entry there.

Note: you cannot ignore a file once it has been committed. You must unversion it and then ignore it.
