I'm using the git-gui interface to manage my git project. Despite being ugly –tcl-tk– it's one of the most complete interface out there.
However, I can't find how to ignore files from this interface ?

To ignore files in your repository with GitHub Desktop go to the Repository menu and select Repository Settings… With the Repository Settings pop-up open, click the Ignored Files tab. Here you will be able to add file names, directory names, or patterns for Git to ignore in your repository.
If you want to ignore a file that you've committed in the past, you'll need to delete the file from your repository and then add a . gitignore rule for it. Using the --cached option with git rm means that the file will be deleted from your repository, but will remain in your working directory as an ignored file.
The . gitignore file tells Git which files to ignore when committing your project to the GitHub repository.
Local Repository . If there are some files you want to ignore for just this repository, you can put them in . git/info/exclude .
the pragmatic way is, to add this to your git configuration:
git config --global guitool."Add to .gitignore".cmd $'echo "\n$FILENAME" >> .gitignore & git add .gitignore'
git config --global guitool."Add to .gitignore".needsfile yes
git config --global guitool."Add to .gitignore".confirm yes
After that, you can use it under Tools > Ignore selected file in your git gui.
Select a file you want to ignore under Unstaged Changes -> Tools/ignore selected file

If you mean ignore them forever, then add a .gitignore file in the root of your directory (where the .git folder is). List the files or file types separated by a new line like so:
*.pyc
venv
.metadata
If you mean ignoring it temporarily, you can do the .gitignore step or just stage the files you want to commit individually.
