When I do a Pull Request on GitHub (against master branch), can we ignore some file changes, like
828
In the Git Changes window, right-click any changed file that you want Git to ignore and choose Ignore this local item or Ignore this extension. Those menu options don't exist for tracked files.
Pull requests merge branches. So if you want to isolate some things for a pull request, best is to put those changes in a separate branch. Advantage is that you can change the pull request by pushing new changes to that branch (even push -f if you need to change already pushed commits).
To avoid having to ignore unwanted files manually, you can create a . gitignore file in the working directory of your project. Inside this file, you can specify simple patterns that Git will use to determine whether or not a file should be ignored.
You can't ignore some files from a pull request selectively. Two workarounds for this can be -
First -
Second -
Any of this method will work. Which will be easier depends upon how many files are to be included / excluded.
