.gitignore is not enough

There are files which one would like to pull from a remote branch but not have git register said person's changes on said files

Let's have a file named: .gitpullfromremotebutdonotregistermylocalchanges

Of course, we can think of a better name

By register I mean detect, like when git status detects changes that are not staged for commit

Use case:

On GitHub, you clone a repo with a default config file (skeleton)
You custom the config file with personal tokens and values
If the config filename was in .gitpullfromremotebutdonotregistermylocalchanges
Then the following don't have to be worried about:
1. The developer (the remote branch maintainer) doesn't have to not
have a default config file (skeleton) because it was in .gitignore
2. Pushing your secrets
