git update-index --assume-unchanged unsuccess

Question

this is my git code

git update-index --assume-unchanged conf/con.java

but,if I am try to perform a pull

git pull

the con.java will be changed, So how can I approach this issue? i do not want this file(con.java) to be changed while executing git pull.

Answer 1

You can try the other update-index option:

git update-index --no-assume-unchanged -- a file
git update-index --skip-worktree -- a file

From what I have seen in "Difference Between 'assume-unchanged' and 'skip-worktree'", it should better resist to git pull.
