git-gui and untracked files

Guilhem Bonnefille· Jun 26, 2007, 08:02 UTC · lore

Hi,

On my repos, I have lot of untracked files. In the same time, adding a file is a really occasional action.

So, most of the time, I'm confused by the git-gui which shows me lot and lot of files, where only on or two are interesting for me.

Is it possible to hide untracked files in git-gui? (for example an option available with a right click on the "Changed but not updated" frame)

Thanks for any tips.

Sure. Add the files to .gitignore (which you itself put under version control) or to .git/info/exclude.

man 5 gitignore
