I am using Visual Studio 2019
I am trying to create .gitignore in NuGet Package Manager Console,
but I find no .gitignore shown in the Visual Studio and the root folder.
> dotnet new gitignore
Getting ready...
The template "dotnet gitignore file" was created successfully.
> ls
my_server
my_server.sln
> dotnet new gitignore
Creating this template will make changes to existing files:
Overwrite .gitignore
I also tried same command : dotnet new gitignore and I successfully created .gitignore file but you can not see by : ls command you can go to inside that folder where you run this command : dotnet new gitignore you will find .gitignore file is present there don't worry. it will work fine. : ls command can't find with '.extension' file it should have file name to find file name.
to see .gitignore file you should use : ls -a command to see .gitignore file
Finally Figured it out.
Right click your solution in Visual Studio > Display Options > Select Show all files
.gitignore will then appear
