Hi.
Is there a way to avoid having these to file to always show up as
non-staged?
$ git status
# On branch cat
# Changes not staged for commit:
# (use "git add <file>..." to update what will be committed)
# (use "git checkout -- <file>..." to discard changes in working
directory)
#
# modified: externals/httplib2 (new commits)
# modified: scripts/i18n (new commits)
I found this suggestion online (can't remember where):
Some files in a repository, which are versioned (i.e. they can't be
git-ignored), are often changed,
but rarely committed. Usually these are various local configuration files
that are edited,
but should never be committed upstream.
Git lets you ignore those files by assuming they are unchanged. This is
done by running the
git update-index --assume-unchanged path/to/file.txt
but it is not a permanent solution.
Bye
