Git - Temporarily ignore trivial changes to files

Question

I\'m looking for a way to \'hide\' minor changes made to a few files in Git, such that they will not show up in git status until a different change is made to those files.

Answer 1

Just don't add the trivial changes.

It's good practice to carefully review the things that you add before committing.

You can even ignore some changes in a file while adding others, using

git add -p.

This is even easier if you use gitx (R).
