Git: untrack a file in local repo only and keep it in the remote repo

by

You could update your index:

cd /root/folder/of/your/repo
git update-index --assume-unchanged nbproject/project.properties

and make sure it never shows as “updated” in your current repo.
That means it won’t ever be pushed, but it is still present in the index.
(and it can be modified at will in your local working tree).

git update-index --no-assume-unchanged <file>

git ls-files -v | grep '^h '
