What is the preferred way to manage schema.rb in git?

Question

I don\'t want to add schema.rb to .gitignore, because I want to be able to load a new database schema from that file. However, keeping it checked

Answer 1

One other thing you can do is use:

git update-index --assume-unchanged /path/schema.rb

This will keep the file in the repository but won't track changes. you can switch the tracking anytime by using:

git update-index --no-assume-unchanged /path/schema.rb
