Is it possible to mark specific file or contents of a specific folder as binary in .gitattributes?

In our repo we have a js file, that is quite readable, but we do not require any reports about the diffs inside it. It only clutters the screen. So we want it to be considered binary. That's what we do with *.min.js and everybody is happy with the results. In .gitattributes we got: *.js text eol=lf line, now we need to override this for a specific js file somehow. I've tried: 

filename.js binary
path/filename.js binary

I even tried to put .gitattributes file under bin/ folder itself (where we keep all compiled files), with such content:

* binary

But it doesn't seem to work. Should be something simple I guess?

If you want to completely remove some files from git diff output, this trick can be useful to you.

Try creating a .gitattributes in the bin folder saying this:

*.js binary
