.gitignore NuGet exclude packages/ include packages/repositories.config

Question

I\'m trying to create a .gitignore for a Visual Studio project that uses NuGet. It currently contains:

\\packages/*
!packages/repositories.config

Answer 1

This works for me.

#NuGet
packages
!packages/repositories.config

(Same as @manojlds's answer except removed the star in the first line. That didn't work for me.)
