You can ignore files in .gitignore, .git/info/exclude, and ~/.config/git/ignore

    I got a bunch of rules in the exclude file for my own personal trash files in the repo. I’m not a happy man unless I can do git commit -am freely.

      git commit -am is for weirdos.

      You should do a git add .. Then do a git status. Then do git reset because . meant that all the stuff you didn’t want to commit also is now in the staging area, then do a manual git add <dst_path> for your paths. Then do a git add . by accident, and repeat.

        Not weird. Whenever I use the -a flag on accident I just do git reset HEAD~1, and then do git commit -am on accident again.

    Thanks! That’ll be useful to keep my ad-hoc degug files out of the git status list
