What you want to is to ignore changes on tracked files. This cannot achieved (as Charles Bailey says) correctly, neither with .gitignore nor with .git/info/exclude. | |
You'll need to use git update-index: | |
git update-index --assume-unchanged build/conf/a.conf | |
git update-index --assume-unchanged build/conf/b.conf | |
will achieve what you want: the files are always assumed unchanged. | |
If you want to track changes in these files again, use --no-assume-unchanged. | |
Finally, if you want to know which files are currently in the --assume-unchanged mode, ask git for | |
git ls-files -v | grep -e "^[hsmrck]" |
