git check-ignore
Analyze and debug Git ignore/exclude (".gitignore") files. More information: https://git-scm.com/docs/git-check-ignore.
-
Check whether a file or directory is ignored:
git check-ignore {{path/to/file_or_directory}}
-
Check whether multiple files or directories are ignored:
git check-ignore {{path/to/file}} {{path/to/directory}}
-
Use pathnames, one per line, from
stdin
:
git check-ignore --stdin < {{path/to/file_list}}
-
Do not check the index (used to debug why paths were tracked and not ignored):
git check-ignore --no-index {{path/to/files_or_directories}}
-
Include details about the matching pattern for each path:
git check-ignore --verbose {{path/to/files_or_directories}}
