How to get git to completely ignore a file? -


i'm working on collaborative project remote repo. 1 of source files in repo "configuration"-type file, , i'd maintain own local copy of file different 1 in remote, without git looking @ file. is, don't want git track file; don't want committed if use git commit -a; , don't want pushed when used git push remote. don't want delete remote repo, git rm --cached wrong.

a couple places (including 1 on stackoverflow) suggested using git update-index --assume-unchanged <config-file>. seemed work; if use git status, file isn't listed modified, , git commit -a doesn't try commit it. however, git still preventing me switching branches locally, between "master" , working branch. if try git checkout master go working branch master, or vice versa, get

error: local changes following files overwritten checkout:      <config-file>  please, commit changes or stash them before can switch branches.

git checkout -f doesn't help:

error: entry '<config-file>' not uptodate. cannot merge.

it seems switch branches, have rename file, use git checkout, rename back, every time switch. not going acceptable. neither using command git stash every time want switch branches, need lot.

the file listed in .gitignore.

how can git ignore file?

i'd problem not in tool, in process. i've had deal before when deploying apps , think solution this:

  • move config file config.sample instead

  • make sure deployment/installation copies config.sample config if doesn't exist

  • don't add config git @ - doesn't need tracked

  • keep config in .gitignore, it's not committed accident in future

c++ - Difference between pre and post decrement in recursive function argument -

i have following sample code used pre-decrement void function(int c) { if(c == 0) { return; } else { cout << "dp" << c << endl; function(--c); cout << c << endl; return; } } this function give output input 4 : dp3 dp2 dp1 dp0 0 1 2 3 but when use post decrement void function(int c) { if(c == 0) { return; } else { cout << "dp" << c << endl; function(c--); cout << c << endl; return; } } output goes in infinite loop dp4 can explain me in detail why happens ? this happens because function(c--) called same value of c , when finishes c decremented. recursively called, hence called same value no chance of return , hit stack overflow error. assume this, int x = 1, y = 0; y = x++ result y == 1 , x == 2. if y = ++x , bot x , y 2.
