Git Gui: How to exclude unnecessary files from rescan

How to avoid scanning unnecessary/temporary files in Git GUI? e.g obj, pdb files etc...?

Solution

  • The usual mechanism applies, i.e.:

    • list directories, files or patterns in '.git/info/exclude' - this would be per repository
    • same thing but in a .gitignore file inside the repository itself - this could be committed and be per project, shared by all participants
