How can I add .gitignore to my solution in Rider? When I right click on my solution under New, I cannot see anything related to adding .gitignore file. Any help would be appreciated.

gitignore file in the VCS root directory, you can switch the Explorer window to the File System view, right-click the root node, choose Add | File and type . gitignore in the New File dialog.
gitignore file tells Git which files to ignore when committing your project to the GitHub repository. gitignore is located in the root directory of your repo. / will ignore directories with the name.
In general, they should be included in all projects being pushed to GitHub, and we'll continue to use . gitignore files for the remained of the program. A . gitignore file lists all of the files that are local to a project that Git should not push to GitHub.
Normally yes, . gitignore is useful for everyone who wants to work with the repository. On occasion you'll want to ignore more private things (maybe you often create LOG or something. In those cases you probably don't want to force that on anyone else.
That functionality isn't included by default; you can just make a new file named .gitignore.
However, there is an excellent .ignore plugin available for all JetBrains IDE's:
