Visual Studio 2015 TFS .tfignore file

by

First, please make sure your .tfignore file created without any problem. This file does not have any suffix. One way to create it suggest you to rename a new.txt file with "tfignore." It will auto change to right .tfignore file.

You can also use the auto automatically generated .tfignore file, follow below steps:

  1. In the Pending Changes page, in the Excluded Changes section, choose
    the Detected changes link.

pending changes, Detected changes link , which counts the number of adds, in this case 50003 add(s) (I have a busy directory clearly!)

The Promote Candidate Changes dialog box appears.

  1. Select a file, open its context menu, and choose Ignore this local
    item, Ignore by extension, Ignore by file name, or Ignore by folder.

the promote candidate changes dialog opens. right-clicking an item in its list includes options like "Ignore by extension *.js"

  1. Choose OK or Cancel to close the Promote Candidate Changes dialog
    box.
  2. A .tfignore file appears in the Included Changes section of the
    Pending Changes page. You can open this file and modify it to meet
    your needs.

the .tfignore is automatically created by Visual Studio and appears in pending changes with the "add" notation, suggesting you will commit it
