There is no .hgignore file after I do an initial hginit command

Question

I've created my very first Mercurial repo on my machine. I used the hg init command on the directory.

Now I'm trying to use this ignore file, before uploading to BitBucket:

Mercurial .hgignore for Visual Studio 2008 projects

Where would I post Even Mien's configuration file? I can't find an hgignore file anywhere.

Thanks

Answer 1

Just create a new text file named .hgignore at the root folder of your project and paste the content into it.

Answer 2

Just make one in the top-level directory of the repository (the same place where the .hg folder is).
