gitignore ignore files within a folder that has whitespace in the middle

Question

I have a folder that have a space in the middle, but have a webconfig file inside it. I want git to ignore the webconfig file but somehow it's not ignoring it because of the space in the folder. Anybody know how to work around this? ``` My FolderName/Web.config ``` I tried to insert the `%20` in the middle but that did not help. Thank you for your help.

Accepted Answer

Try `My\ FolderName/Web.config` or `"My FolderName/Web.config"`
