+NAME
+----
+gitignore - Specifies intentionally untracked files to ignore
+
+SYNOPSIS
+--------
+$GIT_DIR/info/exclude, .gitignore
+
+DESCRIPTION
+-----------
+
+A `gitignore` file specifies intentionally untracked files that
+git should ignore. Each line in a `gitignore` file specifies a
+pattern.
+
+When deciding whether to ignore a path, git normally checks
+`gitignore` patterns from multiple sources, with the following
+order of precedence:
+
+ * Patterns read from the file specified by the configuration
+ variable 'core.excludesfile'.
+
+ * Patterns read from `$GIT_DIR/info/exclude`.
+
+ * Patterns read from a `.gitignore` file in the same directory
+ as the path, or in any parent directory, ordered from the
+ deepest such file to a file in the root of the repository.
+ These patterns match relative to the location of the
+ `.gitignore` file. A project normally includes such
+ `.gitignore` files in its repository, containing patterns for
+ files generated as part of the project build.
+
+The underlying git plumbing tools, such as
+gitlink:git-ls-files[1] and gitlink:git-read-tree[1], read
+`gitignore` patterns specified by command-line options, or from
+files specified by command-line options. Higher-level git
+tools, such as gitlink:git-status[1] and gitlink:git-add[1],
+use patterns from the sources specified above.
+
+Patterns have the following format:
+
+ - A blank line matches no files, so it can serve as a separator
+ for readability.
+
+ - A line starting with # serves as a comment.
+
+ - An optional prefix '!' which negates the pattern; any
+ matching file excluded by a previous pattern will become
+ included again.
+
+ - If the pattern does not contain a slash '/', git treats it as
+ a shell glob pattern and checks for a match against the
+ pathname without leading directories.
+
+ - Otherwise, git treats the pattern as a shell glob suitable
+ for consumption by fnmatch(3) with the FNM_PATHNAME flag:
+ wildcards in the pattern will not match a / in the pathname.
+ For example, "Documentation/\*.html" matches
+ "Documentation/git.html" but not
+ "Documentation/ppc/ppc.html". A leading slash matches the
+ beginning of the pathname; for example, "/*.c" matches
+ "cat-file.c" but not "mozilla-sha1/sha1.c".
+
+An example:
+
+--------------------------------------------------------------
+ $ git-status
+ [...]
+ # Untracked files:
+ [...]
+ # Documentation/foo.html
+ # Documentation/gitignore.html
+ # file.o
+ # lib.a
+ # src/internal.o
+ [...]
+ $ cat .git/info/exclude
+ # ignore objects and archives, anywhere in the tree.
+ *.[oa]
+ $ cat Documentation/.gitignore
+ # ignore generated html files,
+ *.html
+ # except foo.html which is maintained by hand
+ !foo.html
+ $ git-status
+ [...]
+ # Untracked files:
+ [...]
+ # Documentation/foo.html
+ [...]
+--------------------------------------------------------------
+
+Another example:
+
+--------------------------------------------------------------
+ $ cat .gitignore
+ vmlinux*
+ $ ls arch/foo/kernel/vm*
+ arch/foo/kernel/vmlinux.lds.S
+ $ echo '!/vmlinux*' >arch/foo/kernel/.gitignore
+--------------------------------------------------------------
+
+The second .gitignore prevents git from ignoring
+`arch/foo/kernel/vmlinux.lds.S`.
