I have a file that suffers modification every time I run my project. Thus, I don’t want git to track it and so I add it to my .gitignore file.
However, I do wish for the file to be pulled when cloning the project.
How can I achieve this?
Thank you in advance.
No you cannot ignore a file, not track it and expect it to be available in clone.
What you can do is, add the file to the repo, run
git update-index --assume-unchangedso that git “ignores” the changes to it and then you will have the file in clone.
