How can I make PhpStorm automatically exclude specific file types from committing to VCS?
Answered
After wasting almost 1 hour trying to figure this one out, I gave up and reached out for help & guidance. So here's my question: what's the automatic way of ignoring certain file types, for instance .PSDs? Being forced to un-check the box in the Commit Changes dialog for each files I want to ignore, is a mentally tiresome and repetitive task I'd rather prefer not to waste my time with.
If anyone could point me in the right direction, I'd be very grateful.

It depends on the VCS you are using, for Git, that would be adding the file extension to the .gitignore file:

If you are using a different VCS, please specify which exactly.
