With --assume-unchanged you're promising git that you will not change a file that is already in the repository. Git doesn't check those files for changes anymore, which can improve performance. > Why it is throwing error ? And how to achieve this without taking > the help of the file `.gitignore` ? You can create a file .git/info/exclude in the root directory of the repository with the same syntax as .gitignore to ignore these files. This rules will not be commited in the repository. > -- > ================ > Regards, > Arup Rakshit > ================ > Debugging is twice as hard as writing the code in the first place.
