how to ignore some changes in a file but not all the file
example: I want git to ignore the changes in a file if the only changes are like
Generation Time: 2022-02-21 16:42:18
if it's the only difference, I want git to skip it as changed

You can use `git add --patch` and choose the changes that you want to commit. – D Malan Feb 22 '22 at 08:34

Just run `git add --patch` by itself (without the extra bit you added). Git will then ask you whether you want to add a specific change or not and you can type in `y` to add it or `n` to skip it. – D Malan Feb 22 '22 at 10:42
