From: Martin Bruzina Date: Sat, 20 Nov 2021 16:06:17 GMT Subject: Emphasize that assume-unchanged and skip-worktree bits are not propagated to origin with git push Message-ID: <3df2bcbd-fac2-b36d-3f50-d52e573fc803@bruzina.cz> General overview of the idea: Reference https://git-scm.com/docs/git-update-index describes assume-unchanged and skip-worktree bits and should include clear information on whether they are propagated to remotes with git push or not. What problem will this solve? From https://git-scm.com/docs/git-update-index it is unclear, how assume-unchanged and skip-worktree bits work in relation to remotes - if they are local only, or propagated to a remote as well. From other documentation - https://git-scm.com/docs/git-sparse-checkout#_sparse_checkout or https://git-scm.com/docs/gitfaq, it might be deducible, but it would be convenient to mention it in https://git-scm.com/docs/git-update-index#_notes as well. Have I thought about other solutions? Use Google - it's not easy to find the fact by Google Search for the information by on-page search - https://git-scm.com/search/results?search=skip-worktree and https://git-scm.com/search/results?search=assume-unchanged top results are not helpful, but I admit that from the bottom ones it is deducible Write a blog about it - http://blog.stephan-partzsch.de/how-to-ignore-changes-in-tracked-files-with-git/ already posted the information: But no matter which option (assume-unchanged and skip-worktree bits) you choose there is one point to consider: The chosen bit will not be propagated by git push. -- S pozdravem Martin Bružina
