How about adding it to `.gitignore`? – bereal Oct 18 '18 at 09:20

I don't want todo that because it is just a local version. – bier hier Oct 18 '18 at 09:21

Ignore it :
If it's a file nobody wants in your team
Create a file named .gitignore at the root of your project, add the filename into it, and commit it (the .gitignore file).
If it's a file only you don't want
Edit the file named .git/info/exclude and add the filename into it.

I should add : do not want to remove it from source control, just want to use a local version of a file. – bier hier Oct 19 '18 at 04:56
