How about (given the comment about it being a template): create an orphan branch add just that file to the branch and commit. Tag the commit delete the branch
get folks to 'git checkout tag -- file'. Perhaps even make that an alias. Once it is in the repo it's fixed, unchanged forever! [or just tweak the alias to checkout the file direct from the sha1 where you committed the master version!] just a thought (all untested..) -- Philip ----- Original Message ----- From: Tikhon Tarnavsky To: Git for human beings Sent: Wednesday, January 06, 2016 6:05 PM Subject: [git-users] How to save file's first commit, but ignore all further changes to this file?
