By only adding this file to the index. Use "git add $yourfile" instead
of "git add ."

If you do not want to see your thousands of files in the directory
when running git status, you can simply create a .gitignore file with
* as content. Git will still notify you about files which it already
knows about, even though the .gitignore entry tells it to ignore
everything.
