  My concern is that one important file (Puppetfile) needs to be pushed to my remote repository so I can check the changes I commited.

  To do that, I need to commit changes (included to the Puppetfile) then I need to push it to the remote repository.

  Once I want to merge these changes from a specific branch to the master branch, I do NOT want to include this file. In other words, I want to merge all files except the Puppetfile file.

  What is the best way for you to do that?

Create a branch that does not include the file.

Why do the changes to "Puppetfile" need to be pushed to your github?

Just test it locally and then push it and pull-request a commit which doesn't have those changes in it.

Hi Jake,


  Actually, once I run r10k, it will grab the Puppetfile from each branch from the remote repository to create Puppet environments (per git branch) and deploy other remote repositories.

  This file is mandatory on the repository.
