You're totally right. I got a bit mixed up on how that worked. One option is to run `git update-index --skip-worktree `. The downside to this is that it only affects the local workspace. You'd have to ask everyone on the team to run this locally when they clone the repository. ([documentation](https://git-scm.com/docs/git-update-index#git-update-index---no-skip-worktree)) Looks like there may not actually be a simple way to express this intent on the remote. --- [Visit Topic](https://discourse.ros.org/t/to-avoid-undesired-change-in-rviz/6270/4) or reply to this email to respond.
