Re: getting git to ignore modifications to specific files

I did a bit of googling and found

Which works locally to stop git status from complaining.

Be careful with that, as it's technically meant to be used for another
purpose (e.g. slow filesystems). Notably, git reset --hard will still
kill your local modifications. In your case it seems to be about
automatically generated files so it's no big problem, but it might
still cause a bit of confusion, so I thought I'd warn you anyway.
