Debugging gitignore
November 8, 2018
If you have a file being ignored by git and you try to add it, you'll get a message something like this:
The following paths are ignored by one of your .gitignore files: web/scripts/blah.txt Use -f if you really want to add them.
To find out what line in gitignore is causing this you can use:
$ cd web/scripts $ git check-ignore -v blah.txt .gitignore:183:[Ss]cripts blah.txt
