# 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}}`
