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.

However, I want to ignore some files, such as *.class and the dist directory. Is there a GUI available in NetBeans for creating a .gitignore file for my project? Or do I have to create it outside the project and add it to the root directory? <https://www.avast.com/sig-email?utm_medium=email&utm_source=link&utm_campaign=sig-email&utm_content=emailclient> Virus-free. <https://www.avast.com/sig-email?utm_medium=email&utm_source=link&utm_campaign=sig-email&utm_content=emailclient> www.avast.com -- This email has been checked for viruses by Avast antivirus software. www.avast.com
