git-omit

Small Git helpers for local-only ignores and tracked files you want Git to leave alone.

Local ignores

Kind	Git mechanism	Use when
Untracked	.git/info/exclude	The file should stay local and untracked
Tracked	skip-worktree	The file is tracked, but local changes should be left alone

Installation

uv tool install git-omit
# or from GitHub
uv tool install git+https://github.com/Noai-oss/git-omit

Commands

Command	Example	Effect
git-omit hide <pattern>...	git-omit hide '*.log'	Add patterns to .git/info/exclude
git-omit unhide <pattern>...	git-omit unhide '*.log'	Remove patterns from .git/info/exclude
git-omit freeze <path>...	git-omit freeze config.local.json	Mark tracked files as skip-worktree
git-omit unfreeze <path>...	git-omit unfreeze config.local.json	Clear skip-worktree
git-omit list	git-omit list	Print hidden patterns and frozen paths
git-omit --version	git-omit --version	Print the version

We recommend quoting glob patterns, like '*.log', so your shell passes them unchanged.

git-omit list prints tab-separated lines:

hide    *.log
freeze  config.local.json
