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>
|
|
```

## List untracked files
|
|
|
|
To list all files with the assumed-unchanged bit set, run this command.
|
|
|
|
```console
|
|
$ git ls-files -v | grep "^h"
|
|
h go.mod
|
|
h go.sum
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The lowercase <kbd>h</kbd> indicates that.
