Similar questions like this one about how to ignore files in a git repo are typically answered by showing which git command to execute on the command line. Even this one, although it is PyCharm specific, does the same.

Is there a way to manage this file through the PyCharm GUI?

Try:

  1. Go to Settings
  2. Go to Plugins
  3. Search for: .ignore
  4. Install
  5. Restart PyCharm

.gitignore should now be included in .ignore along with .hgignore etc.

In PyCharm Pro 2019.3, I was able to do this by - right click folder or file I wanted to add to gitignore. - scroll to and click on Git - scroll to and click on Add to .gitignore If a gitignore file is not already there, PyCharm will create one and add it to the main project folder and add your chosen folder/file to it.

    You need to install it first like the accepted answer, restart you're pycharm and do as this answer said. Yes, this is frustrating, 2 answers need to be joined to make it work. – Rikudo Pain Sep 13 '22 at 16:59

There are plugins available in the JetBrains repository to manage this; one of them that I make use of is .ignore, which allows you to have more insight into what files you're actually ignoring in the IDE.
