I think that is a paraphrase of the suggestion to

   git rm --cached settings
   echo settings >> .gitignore

when changes to a file 'settings' that was already tracked (and often
contains user-specific settings) should be ignored. This misguided and
short-sighted "solution" is repeated numerous times on Stackoverflow.
Not something that we should encourage.
