So TFS supports adding a .tfignore file in a repository to exclude files. Does it support a way to add a user-specific or machine-specific global .tfignore file?

Git supports this with a.gitconfig file and its excludesFile entry.

Here is my situation, why I am asking this. I use WebStorm, but my coworkers do not. So, on my computer, I want to exclude .idea folders from TFS checkin without having to modify each repository's .tfignore file.

Is there any support for this feature?

It is not supported so far.

You must manually exclude the files in the pengding changes during check in.

Moreover,you can submit your proposal via Microsoft UserVoice

  • Is there support now, nearly a year and a half later? – bubbleking Feb 06 '17 at 17:46
  • Sorry, it is still on the product teams backlog. For more accurate methods of using `.tfignore`, you could also take a look at this blog [tfignore usage in Team Foundation Server](https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/dstfs/2016/01/29/tfignore-usage-in-team-foundation-server/) – PatrickLu-MSFT Feb 07 '17 at 01:54
