How I can store some local changes that survives git reset --hard

Question

I have some local changes (not in separate files so .gitignore doesn\'t work) that I don\'t want to commit.
I do git reset --hard sometimes after

Answer 1

If you never want these changes to be committed but always need them locally then consider creating and commiting a script or patch file for your local changes. Then you can keep and document your changes as well as easily apply them after a hard reset.

If you have changes that are specific to your environment then it may be worth externalising them into a configuration file.
