Solution 2: Mark database.yml as assume-unchanged in git’s index

In fact git has the power to ignore local changes to tracked files, but it’s slightly clunkier than and completely >inconsistent with the familiar .gitignore. You must use git update-index to tell git to ignore changes to the file:

$ git update-index --assume-unchanged config/database.yml

Now your git status will be clean, and you will have no unwanted results when you run things like git add . and git >commit -a. And when somebody upstream modifies database.yml, git will not ask you to resolve the conflict. Perfect.

To un-mark the file as assume-unchanged:

$ git update-index --no-assume-unchanged config/database.yml

And if you want a list of tracked files that git is ignoring:

$ git ls-files -v | grep ^[a-z]
