Mercurial: Globally Ignore Files

I know about .hgignore and how I can ignore files on a project-by-project basis. I want to ignore stuff for all Mercurial repositories.

Is there something I can stick in .hgrc? Or put a .hgignore in my $H开发者_高级运维OME path (I tried that already but maybe I did something wrong).

You can add a path to a global or per-user ignore file in the [ui] section of your global/user hgrc or Mercurial.ini:

[ui]
ignore = ~/.hgignore

On Windows:

[ui]
ignore = %USERPROFILE%\.hgignore

In powershell, you can get to your global files like this.

PS> notepad $env:userprofile/mercurial.ini
...
[ui]
ignore = %USERPROFILE%\.hgignore
...

PS> notepad $env:userprofile/.hgignore
/bin/
/obj/
