Well.. if you want to accomplish that, you need to add files / directories to .gitignore before they get tracked by git..

let’s say you have a tmp directory in your application and you don’t want to track the files in there, create a .empty (else the tmp dir will not be commited in the repo) file in there, commit it.. then add ‘tmp/*’ in your .gitignore file and commit again. Then it will be shared with other people :)

good luck :)

And how you can propagate that change to the remote repository?, so I can share this “ignore” with everybody? :)
