How to make git ignore changes to submodules by default

Question

Since gitmodules were introduced in Git, I like to add them like so:

[submodule \"actionbarsherlock\"]
path = actionbarsherlock
url = git://github.com/JakeWh         


        

Answer 1

Do you mean this?

git config --global core.ignore dirty

which writes the preference to your ~/.gitconfig file.
