Cannot import .gitignore into Sigasi project

When trying to import a .gitignore file into my project, the file doesn't show up in the project explorer. If I try to import it again, Sigasi says that the file already exists and asks if I want to overwrite. I'm using Windows XP.

Cheers,
Guy.

.gitignore

The .gitignore file does not show up, because it is considered a hidden file by default. You can make it visible by customizing the project explorer view filters: Select the icon View Menu (triangle) and then Customize view. Next disable the ".* resources" filter.

As an alternative you can also install the egit plugin to easily ignore files in git.

Thanks, that did the trick.

open .gitignore file

You can also open the .gitignore file in an editor by pressing Ctrl-Shift-R and typing ".gitignore" in the Open Resource dialog.
