Keep files in local git repositories that'll never be committed.
Sometimes you need to keep a file in your repository that you don't want to commit. For example, you might have a local.sh script file that you don't want to commit to your repository. You could add it to your .gitignore file, but that adds unnecessary clutter to that file. gitblind solves this problem by blinding files in your repository so that they'll never be committed.
gitblind adds files or patterns you choose to blind to your local .git/info/exclude file. This file is not tracked by git, so it won't be committed to your repository.
You can install gitblind with npm:
npm install -g gitblind
You can also install it with yarn:
yarn global add gitblind
Blinding a file is as simple as running gitblind in the root of your repository:
gitblind .my-secret-file
You can also blind multiple files at once:
gitblind .my-secret-file .another-secret-file
You can also blind a directory:
gitblind /my-secret-directory
Blinding a directory will blind all files in that directory.
You can also blind a pattern:
gitblind *.sh
This will blind all files that end in .sh.
You can list all blinded files by running gitblind with the ls command:
gitblind ls
You can unblind a file by running gitblind with the rm command:
gitblind rm .my-secret-file
You can also unblind multiple files at once:
gitblind rm .my-secret-file .another-secret-file
You can also unblind a directory:
gitblind rm /my-secret-directory
You can reset all blinded files by running gitblind with the reset command:
Note: You must use the
-cflag to confirm that you want to reset all blinded files.
gitblind reset -c
This will remove all blinded files from your .git/info/exclude file.
