So, you want to change .gitignore and then see which already checked-in files would have been ignored had they not been added already.. Well.. Here's a pragmatic approach: cd repo mv .git .. # move .git somewhere else temporarily git init git status --ignored # behold, all ignored files! rm -r .git mv ../.git . #revert to old state If you don't want to toss your .git dir around, you can achieve the same by using the GIT_DIR variable: cd repo git --git-dir /tmp/foo.git init #just init an empty repo somewhere git --git-dir /tmp/foo.git --work-tree . status --ignored -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Git for human beings" group.
