For very rare situations this git command is very handy. I use this on my
|
||||||
|
_dotfiles_ repository on a config file that I don't need to update recent
|
||||||
|
changes (like htoprc).
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Ignore an already tracked file
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```console
|
||||||
|
$ git update-index --assume-unchanged <filename>
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Start tracking again
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```console
|
||||||
|
$ git update-index --no-assume-unchanged <filename>
|
||||||
|
```
