How do I commit changes locally that I don't want pushed to the repo?

Question

I have made changes to files in my working copy that are specific to just this project, and now I want to commit these changes, but in this project only.  If I commit these changes, the commit shows up in push.  How do I prevent them being pushed back to the repo?

Hi Fred!

you can commit your changes without pushing it to anywhere else. You git-client should not do this automatically. I don't know what you mean by "specific to just this project", maybe it's a good idea to create a branch and commit you changes only to this branch without merging to you main branch ("master").

Hope this helps.
