I have some tracked files in a repository which are automatically modified when building the code. I don’t want to untrack them, I just don’t want them to appear as modified and I don’t want them to be staged when I git add.

Is this possible?

    Sure.

    git update-index --assume-unchanged [<file> ...]
    

    To undo and start tracking again:

    git update-index --no-assume-unchanged [<file> ...]
