Can you tell me which files are in your '.gitignore' file?

To validate which files are actually being ignored by your .gitignore file from the command line, you can use
Git commands to check for ignored files and show their status.

Here's a step-by-step approach:

1. Check ignored files using git status --ignored:
   This command will list all tracked and untracked files in your repository along with those that are being
   ignored by .gitignore.

2. List only ignored files using git ls-files --others -i --exclude-standard:
   This command shows you the files that would be included if they weren't excluded by .gitignore. It helps you
   see what is currently being ignored.

Here's how to use these commands:

# List all files including those ignored by .gitignore
git status --ignored

# Show only the files that are currently being ignored
git ls-files --others -i --exclude-standard

If you want a more detailed output and better readability, you can also use:

# Show ignored files with some additional context
git check-ignore -v

This will show each ignored file along with which rule in .gitignore is causing it to be ignored.

3. Use find and grep for a more customized search:
   If you want to find out if specific patterns are being ignored, you can combine find, git check-ignore, and
   grep:

# Check specific file or directory if it's being ignored
echo "path/to/your/file" | git check-ignore --stdin

# Or for multiple files/directories
find . -type f | xargs git check-ignore

4. Using git rm -r --cached . to re-add all files:
   If you want to verify what is actually being ignored after changing your .gitignore, sometimes it helps to
   clear the cache and add everything back:

# Remove everything from the index (do this carefully)
git rm -r --cached .

# Add everything back, respecting .gitignore
git add .

By following these steps, you can validate which files are being ignored by your .gitignore file and ensure that
your configuration is working as expected
