Temporarily hide untracked files in Synchronize and Git Staging Views [message #1471102]

In EGit, Is there an equivalent of the command-line's "git status -uno", i.e. "git status --untracked-files=no" ?

When looking at the Synchronize view and the Unstaged Changes list in the Git Staging view, I want to ignore untracked files, for a time, but I don't necessarily want to add them to a .gitignore file.

I'm using Luna SR1 and EGit 3.4.1.201406201815-r.

Try "Team > Advanced > Assume unchanged"

see option --assume-unchanged in https://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/docs/git-update-index.html

Thanks for responding, Matthias. I don't think this is what I'm looking for, for two reasons:

1. Since we're talking about untracked files (they're not in the index at all), I don't think git update-index --assume-unchanged is applicable.

2. Even if it did work, It requires me to navigate to the artifacts I don't want to see, and then change their status. This can be tedious. With "git status -uno", in one fell swoop I'm saying "tell me the status of my working tree with respect to the index, but ignore untracked files, period".

I did try what you suggest, for completeness, but it didn't work (as expected, see point 1.) I have a "test/" directory at the root of my working directory. I right click on the "test/" directory in Package Explorer, then Team > Advanced > Assume unchanged. However, nothing changes in Eclipse. The test/ folder and all it's subdirectories and files still show up in the Synchronize view (even after I update it), and all 1500+ files appear in Unstaged Changes in the Git Staging view (making that list unusable, which is the problem).

The option not to show untracked files is only available in the Commit Dialog (Team -> Commit...) but neither in the staging view nor in the synchronize view.

There seems to be no open bugzilla issue for that, so if you would like to have this feature I encourage you to open an issue.
