I have about 200 modified files in my project that I would like to ignore Git and 100 modified files that I would like to commit. I have to ignore them one by one (i.e., right-click on the file-> ignore) - this is very painful due to the number of files involved.
The changed files are all listed in the “Changes” tab, and I would like the group to select all of them and ignore them. Is there a way to select multiple files on Github for Mac? It seems like it should be very simple, but shift, control, open apple, drag and drop, etc. Don't let me select more than one file at a time - this is incredibly frustrating.
The checkboxes and the Select All checkbox apply only to the commit, ignoring cannot be applied to the selected checkboxes. Also, I cannot use "select all" because the bottom third of the files are for commit.
I could ignore through the command line, but is the GUI client useless for such things? Any advice on how to use the GUI would be much appreciated! :)
Here is a screenshot of the "Changes" tab - just imagine that the list of files is distributed to the end. http://www.mikesoltys.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/Screen-Shot-2012-03-07-at-12.37.38-PM-1024x595.png
