Ignore the file from git commit, but protect it from being clean

Question

In my work tree, I have a mix of files in .gitignore:

• Output assembly
• Sensitive files that should not be part of the repo (for example, passwords, connection information for local servers)

If I want to rebuild the project from scratch, I can do git clean -xto remove the build outputs in (1). But it also removes sensitive files in (2).

Is there a way to mark a file so that it is not affected git clean, but is still ignored git commit?

Answer 1

The documentation for git-cleansays that -x:

-x

, .gitignore ( ) $GIT_DIR/info/exclude, , -e.

, , , keys.pem,

git clean -fdxe keys.pem

alias .
