Git Skip

This extension allows you to set Git's skip-worktree and assume-unchanged flags for files, directly from the source control pane.

This can be useful when you have local modifications on a file and want to prevent this file from being committed by accident (Skip Worktree), or to optimize the modification scan to exclude large files (Assume Unchanged).

These flags are NOT the same as adding a file to the .gitignore.
