Keep file in a Git repo, but don’t track changes

by

git has a different solution to do this. First change the file you do not want to be tracked and use the following command: 

git update-index --assume-unchanged FILE_NAME

and if you want to track the changes again use this command: 

git update-index --no-assume-unchanged FILE_NAME
