git check-ignore — Analyze and debug Git ignore/exclude (`.gitignore`) files. More information: <https://git-scm.com/do

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_or_directory1 path/to/file_or_directory2 ...}}

Use pathnames, one per line, from `stdin`

git < {{path/to/file_list}} check-ignore --stdin

Do not check the index (used to debug why paths were tracked and not ignored)

git check-ignore --no-index {{path/to/file_or_directory1 path/to/file_or_directory2 ...}}

Include details about the matching pattern for each path

git check-ignore {{[-v|--verbose]}} {{path/to/file_or_directory1 path/to/file_or_directory2 ...}}
