I am developing a Django app and it’s my first time with Mercurial(using bitbucket).

I have done some commits without adding “.idea” folder from PyCharm to hgignore. Now I have added it to hgignore and want to remove .idea from the central repository but obviously do not want to delete the actual folder locally.

What’s the proper way to handle this? I know this is a common thing, but I’m in the learning stage.

Thanks for the help in advance.

    What it sounds like you want is for Mercurial to stop tracking everything under .idea. This should work (command issued in the repository root):

    hg forget .idea\*
