90 <b>Ignore</b>: action to add files to .gitignore.
91 <b>Note:</b> EGit does not yet respect ignore settings stored in <tt>.gitignore</tt> files.
92 </li>
93 <li>
94 <b>Add</b>: adds changes present in the working tree to the git index, also known as staging changes. See
95 <a href="https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=315306" target="egit_external">bug 315306</a>.
96 </li>
97 <li>
98 <b>Assume unchanged</b>: Resources can be flagged "assume unchanged". This means that Git stops checking the working tree files for possible modifications, so you need to manually unset the bit to tell Git when you change the working tree file. This setting can be switched on with the menu action
99 <b>Team &gt; Assume unchanged</b> (or on the command line with <tt>git update-index --assume-unchanged</tt>). Currently it can only be switched back on the command line with <tt>git update-index --no-assume-unchanged</tt>.
100 </li>
101 <li>
102 <b>Untrack</b>: Removes resources from git version control. If you want to delete the resource from the working tree click also
103 <b>Delete</b> in the resource's context menu.
104 </li>
105 <li>
106 <b>Track</b>: puts newly created resources under git version control. Git does not automatically start tracking resources. See
107 <a href="https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=315306" target="egit_external">bug 315306</a>.
