Don't share anything but those files
Greetings everyone,
I'm wondering how to commit only selected files/folders on GIT, if even possible. Note, the ignore list is not a good option for me as I'd like to add a few files in a folder that contains many hundreds for instance.
Basically, I'm looking for a way to say, don't share anything but those files.
thx

I would use a .gitignore with something like:
cat <<EOF > .gitignore
# Ignore everything
*
# Except
!/.gitignore
!/path/to/file/1
!/path/to/file/2
EOF
Only the two specified files and the .gitignore file should be shown in git status now.
Kind regards,
