    container_name: nginxtest-container
    volumes:
      - "$PWD:/apps"
    ports:
      - "80:80"

Above is my compose file.

I have created dummy file in that directory. If I want to ignore or exclude changes made in one file and all other files should be reflecting the change as it is, how to do that.

Let's say you want to mount $PWD but want to exclude $PWD/template, you can use this. 

version: '3'
services:
  nginx:
    image: nginx
    container_name: nginxtest-container
    volumes:
      -  "/apps/template"
      - "$PWD:/apps"
    ports:
      - "80:80"

/apps/template creates a separate space. Anything in $PWD/template will not be mirrored in the container, anything in /apps/template will also not be reflected on the host.
