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.

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:
