I have a Bitbucket Git repository managed with Sourcetree.
I have two folders that I want to commit, but I need to ignore all the files in these folders, because they contain only temporary files.
How can I do that?

Easiest way to edit the individual, is right click the file. Click Ignore and select the option to ignore just in this repository then you will see a new file called . gitignore in the list.
Personal Ignore Rules Patterns that are specific to your local repository and should not be distributed to other repositories should be set in the . git/info/exclude file. For example, you can use this file to ignore generated files from your personal project tools.
Use your favorite text editor to open the file called .git/info/exclude within the root of your Git repository. Any rule you add here will not be checked in, and will only ignore files for your local repository.
For Sourcetree users: If you want to ignore a specific folder, just select a file from this folder, right-click on it and do "Ignore...". You will have a pop-up menu where you can ignore "Ignore everything beneath: <YOUR UNWANTED FOLDER>"
If you have the "Ignore" option greyed out, you have to select the "Stop Tracking" option. After that the file will be added to Staged files with a minus sign on red background icon and the file's icon in Unstaged files list will change to a question sign on a violet background. Now in Unstaged files list, the "Ignore" option is enabled again. Just do as described above.
