Sam, Actually, you don't need to leave the IDE to create your .gitignore file. All you need to do is switch to the *Files* tab and create a new *empty * file in your top-level project directory named ".gitignore". To populate the file in the IDE, select those files and directories that you want ignored in the *Files *tab and then click on *Team...Ignore...Exclude from Commit*.
While not *fully* graphical, it is simple to do inside of the IDE.
