Exclude File<\/span><\/p>\n

If .git\/info\/exclude file is present it must have the same formatting rule as the .gitignore file.<\/p>\n

If the file to be ignored was already in the repository and you can still see it as modified. You can execute the following command:<\/p>\n

git update-index --assume-unchanged <FILENAME><\/pre>\n
Example:<\/p>\n
git update-index --assume-unchanged config\/database-config.xml<\/pre>\n
The reversal of this command is the following:<\/p>\n
git update-index --no-assume-unchanged <FILENAME><\/pre>\n
