停止 git 跟踪临时打开的 Microsoft Office 文件

Question

Microsoft Office makes copies of open files, say when you open abc.xlsx Excel creates a file called ~$abc.xlsx , prefaced with a tilde and dollar sign.

When I open an Excel file in my git repository to look at the data, git tracks the new file as a change and I have to take care to avoid committing it. How can I use a.gitignore file to skip tracking these files?

Answer 1

Add a new row to your.gitignore file containing ~$* . That will ignore any files beginning with ~$ , the prefix for temporary Microsoft Office files.
