git-check-ignore(1) =================== NAME ---- git-check-ignore - Debug gitignore / exclude files SYNOPSIS -------- [verse] 'git check-ignore' [options] pathname... 'git check-ignore' [options] --stdin < <list-of-paths> DESCRIPTION ----------- For each pathname given via the command-line or from a file via `--stdin`, show the pattern from .gitignore (or other input files to the exclude mechanism) that decides if the pathname is excluded or included. Later patterns within a file take precedence over earlier ones. OPTIONS ------- -q, --quiet:: Don't output anything, just set exit status. This is only valid with a single pathname. -v, --verbose:: Also output details about the matching pattern (if any) for each given pathname. --stdin:: Read file names from stdin instead of from the command-line. -z:: The output format is modified to be machine-parseable (see below). If `--stdin` is also given, input paths are separated with a NUL character instead of a linefeed character. OUTPUT ------ By default, any of the given pathnames which match an ignore pattern will be output, one per line. If no pattern matches a given path, nothing will be output for that path; this means that path will not be ignored. If `--verbose` is specified, the output is a series of lines of the form: <source> <COLON> <linenum> <COLON> <pattern> <HT> <pathname> <pathname> is the path of a file being queried, <pattern> is the matching pattern, <source> is the pattern's source file, and <linenum> is the line number of the pattern within that source. If the pattern contained a `!` prefix or `/` suffix, it will be preserved in the output. <source> will be an absolute path when referring to the file configured by `core.excludesfile`, or relative to the repository root when referring to `.git/info/exclude` or a per-directory exclude file. If `-z` is specified, the pathnames in the output are delimited by the null character; if `--verbose` is also specified then null characters are also used instead of colons and hard tabs: <source> <NULL> <linenum> <NULL> <pattern> <NULL> <pathname> <NULL> EXIT STATUS ----------- 0:: One or more of the provided paths is ignored. 1:: None of the provided paths are ignored. 128:: A fatal error was encountered.
