How to commit a file that defies a pattern in .gitignore?

Question

I wan't to ignore every IPython Notebook found on my project so I put *.ipynb in .gitignore.

However, I would like to commit some specific *.ipynb files that will accompany a release (master branch). If possible, I would like git not to continue tracking those files after the commit, but I wouldn't mind if it does.

Once a file is tracked, it's tracked. If you add the file to Git it will continue to be tracked. — ChrisGPT was on strike, Feb 12 '15 at 13:12

I think you are talking about this: Make .gitignore ignore everything except a few files

In summary, using the prefix ! in the gitignore file.
