Magit: don't ask to save changes

Question

When I have a buffer with unsaved changes, magit asks for each and every action to save that changes.

I didn't save that changes on purpose, so is there a way to disable this behaviour? My Magit should simply ignore unsaved changes.

Answer 1

Magit has a variable called magit-save-repository-buffers that is by default set to t. Try setting it to nil

Answer 2

Here is the documentation for the magit-save-repository-buffers variable, which describes the behavior for values t, nil, and 'dontask.

Documentation: Whether to save file-visiting buffers when appropriate.

If this is non-nil then all modified file-visiting buffers belonging to the current repository may be saved before running commands, before creating new Magit buffers, and before explicitly refreshing such buffers. If this is `dontask' then this is done without user intervention, if it is t then the user has to confirm each save. `dontask' is the recommended setting.
