What's wrong with my .hgignore file? (nothing is being ignored)
bitbucket, hgignore, mercurial, version-control
Solution
Add this line to the top of the file:
syntax: regexp
As for where the .hgignore file should go, per https://www.mercurial-scm.org/wiki/.hgignore
The .hgignore file sits in the working directory, next to the .hg folder.
Problem
The content of my .hgignore file as follow and NOTHING is being ignored: ``` ^nbproject$ ^.htaccess$ ^my.conf$ /media/images/captcha/.*\.jpg$ ``` I tried to place the file in the main project repository folder and in the working directory. What's wrong? Please help.
