git-check-ignore: Use pathnames, one per line, from `stdin`.
$ git check-ignore --stdin < ${filename_list}
try on your machine
This command is used to check if a list of files is ignored by Git.
git check-ignore
is the command used to determine if a file is ignored according to the Gitignore rules in your repository.--stdin
flag specifies that the list of files to be checked will be provided through standard input instead of writing them directly as arguments.< ${filename_list}
redirects the content of the file${filename_list}
as an input to the commandgit check-ignore --stdin
.
So, the command reads the filenames from the ${filename_list}
file and checks if each file is ignored by Git based on the repository's Gitignore rules.
