Don't allow web.config to change on check in / out

Question

User113730038 posted

What I would like to do if at all possible is when i check in (GIT) i don't want to push or pull a web.config.  Is there a way to keep this from changing?  The issue is our application works for multiple customers and we put the customer in the config file so if a team member is working on customer A and I with customer B we don't have to keep modifying the config.

Add the Web.Config to the ignore file list (.gitignore). 

If you are using Visual Studio GIT, the exclude list is located in the Team Explorer ->Settings -> Repository Settings.  Otherwise consult the GIT/Code Editor documentation for whatever version you are using to find the file.
