# Excluding Files Locally
|
|
|
|
Excluding (read: ignoring) files that should not be tracked is generally
|
|
done by listing such files in a tracked `.gitignore` file. Though it doesn't
|
|
make sense to list all kinds of excluded files here. For files that you'd
|
|
like to exclude that are temporary or are specific to your local
|
|
environment, there is another option. These files can be added to the
|
|
`.git/info/exclude` file as a way of ignoring them locally.
|
|
|
|
Add specific files or patterns as needed to that file and then save it.
|
|
Relevant files will no longer show up as untracked files when you `git
|
|
status`.
