I have Visual C++ project on disc:

project_name.sln
/project_name/project_name.vcxproj
/project_name/Debug
/project_name/Release

.gitignore is placed in in the same directory like project_name.sln. Hot to tell .gitignore not include /project_name/Debug and /project_name/Release in universal way - without defining project_name/ directory?

Try gitignore.io it can generates .gitignore for various scenarios. Then, point git configuration's core.excludesfile to point the generated .gitignore file.

git config --global core.excludesfile 'GIT_IGNORE_PATH/.gitignore'
