Mercurial: Globally Ignore Files
I know about .hgignore and how I can ignore files on a project-by-project basis. I want to ignore stuff for all Mercurial repositories. Is there something I can stick in .hgrc ? Or put a .hgignore in my $HOME path (I tried that already but maybe I did something wrong). You can add a path to a global or per-user ignore file in the [ui] section of your global/user hgrc or Mercurial.ini : [ui] ignore = ~/.hgignore On Windows: [ui] ignore = %USERPROFILE%\.hgignore In powershell, you can get to your global files like this. PS> notepad $env:userprofile/mercurial.ini ... [ui] ignore = %USERPROFILE%\
