IntelliJ has no option to click on a file and choose  Add to  gitignore  like Eclipse has    The quickest way to add a file or folder to  gitignore without typos is    Right-click on the file in the project browser and choose  Copy Path   or use the keyboard shortcut that is displayed there   Open the  gitignore file in your project  and paste  Adjust the pasted line so that it is relative to the location of the  gitignore file    Additional info  There is a  ignore plugin available for IntelliJ which adds a  Add to  gitignore  item to the popup menu when you right-click a file  It works like a charm
