Ignore changes in tracked files
E.g. you don't want modified database.yml to be commited:
git update-index --assume-unchanged database.ymlThe reverse operation is:
git update-index --no-assume-unchanged database.ymlBeware, it effects only local repository. You can't commit that.

Nice and good to know. However, why not .gitignore it and commit -f?
You end up with same behavior (local changes ignored).

Because every time you checkout -f or git reset, you lose changes in that file
