Last time I checked (which was half a minute ago), files in .gitignore are only ignored for the purpose of not adding them to the archive. Modifying such a file, editing it, and then "git commit -a"ing the archive will, however, check in your changes. Thus your scenario does not happen. $ git init $ echo a >a $ git add a $ git commit -m Initial $ echo b >b $ echo b >.gitignore $ git add -f .gitignore b $ git commit -m NoB $ echo bla >b $ git commit -a -m foo $ git show commit 1b60a5792732e45c685bcced51b6c754d9833530 (HEAD -> master) Author: Matthias Urlichs <matth...@urlichs.de> Date: Fri Nov 2 20:10:43 2018 +0100 foo diff --git a/b b/b index 6178079..a7f8d9e 100644 --- a/b +++ b/b @@ -1 +1 @@ -b +bla $ -- -- Matthias Urlichs -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Git for human beings" group.
