How to ignore files on Visual Studio Team Services (not for local server)

Simply add files to store details outside of web.config and then Undo the Include in the Pending Checkins, original answer here: https://stackoverflow.com/a/3883663/585248

This answer relates to having exclusive checkouts ... if you use Local Sever then you can use ignore files. Exclusive checkouts you would need to set it to Server and try the solution from the link above. Tested and works.

For newer versions of TFS (which includes VS Online), the preferred approach is to use a .tfignore file.

You simply check-in a .tfignore file and TFS uses that to determine which files/paths/extensions/etc to ignore and not include in TFS.

You can read more about tfignore files here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms245454.aspx#tfignore
