Is there a Git filter to disable update the $:/StroyList and $:/temp/search div

[Cook Schelling]

I use Git to manage my TiddlyWiki files' versions. But after each use of TW, div like $:/StoryList, $:/temp/search will be updated. I don't want commit these changes to Git. Is there a Git filter to help me discard these changes?

Thanks.

Take a look at this:  https://help.github.com/articles/ignoring-files/

Basically, you can create a file titled .gitignore, and put the path of the files you want to ignore in it, and they will be ignored.  Be aware that if you've already committed those files once they won't be ignored going forwards unless you git rm them.

do you mean individual tid tiddlers or entire html files?

[Cook Schelling]

I mean individual tid tiddlers.

[Cook Schelling]

I don't want to ignore the tw file, I just want to filter out some tiddler's change.

[Danielo Rodríguez]

Just ignore the tiddlers you don't want to track by including them in a file called .gitignore

[Cook Schelling]

I know what .gitignore is. I don't want to ignore the whole tw file, I just want ignore some changes that are not caused directly by my edition. I think a git filter can resolve my question, so I want to know if there is also some resolution.

No. gitignore can only filter on a file basis. ...

Since you are talking about a <div>  that is changed, I think you push the whole tiddlywiki.html file. .. So the only thing that can prevent this is, that you change your "save-filter" in TW itself. The tiddler is $:/core/save/all
If you change it like the following code, it won't save eg: $:/StoryList, ... but there are a lot of other temporary tiddlers, that may be created while working with TW. So may need them to the "exclude" list.

WARNING! -> !!! Make a backup first !!!  If you mess up this tiddler you may end up with an empty or corrupted tiddlywiki!

\define saveTiddlerFilter()
[is[tiddler]] -[prefix[$:/state/popup/]] -[[$:/HistoryList]] -[[$:/boot/boot.css]] -[type[application/javascript]library[yes]] -[[$:/boot/boot.js]] -[[$:/boot/bootprefix.js]] +[sort[title]] -[[$:/StoryList]] -[prefix[$:/temp/]] -[prefix[$:/state/]] $(publishFilter)$
\end
{{$:/core/templates/tiddlywiki5.html}}

I did add the following -[[$:/StoryList]] -[prefix[$:/temp/]] -[prefix[$:/state/]]  elements to the above filter. It will prevent the story list and all tiddlers prefixed "$:/temp/" and "$:/state/". .. If you don't want this, just remove them. ... Just to be sure: Did I make clear that backups are important? ;)

There is a $(publishFilter)$ variable, which should make things easier,  but I don't know how to set it. @Jeremy can you help?

have fun!

Thank you very much, Mario.

BTW: By Git .gitattributes, it's possible to add a saving filter. You can refer to this example(https://github.com/kynan/nbstripout), a git filter for IPython notebook.
