What exclude pattern should i specify

Question

I want to understand the exclude pattern in git ls-files command. So I want to output all the ignored file within the working directory using the ls-files command. I know that git status --ignored will do the job, but my point is to understand using the exclude pattern in case I need it.

I tried this: git ls-files -i -x ./*.txt In order to output all the ignored (except text-files) files. No success though I have several ignored files.

Could you please help me with this?

A simple StackOverflow search would have answered your question.

Try any of these:

git ls-files --others -i --exclude-from=.git/info/exclude git ls-files --others -i --exclude-standard

Reference: Git command to show which specific files are ignored by .gitignore
