I have modified several files for debugging purposes. I don't want to add them to .gitignore because they are valid files that need to be in the repo. However, while debugging I need to make settings changes that I don't want to check in. Right now I am using git restore --staged after running git add -all to remove these files from my commit.
Is there a better way to do this?
git add --all. You cangit add foo bar ...to add files foo , bar. You can alsogit reset foo barafter addingfooandbarto un-stage them for commit.
