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

Question

I am getting my feet wet with Git and have the following issue:

My project source tree:

/
|
+--src/
+----refs/
+----...
|
+--vendor/
+----...
         


        

Answer 1

There is a much simpler way to do it (git 1.7.6+):

git status --ignored

See Is there a way to tell git-status to ignore the effects of .gitignore files?
