So, you want to change .gitignore and then see which already checked-in files would have been ignored had they not been added already.. Well.. Here's a pragmatic approach: cd repo mv .git .. # move .git somewhere else temporarily git init git status --ignored # behold, all ignored files! rm -r .git mv ../.git . #revert to old state If you don't want to toss your .git dir around, you can achieve the same by using the GIT_DIR variable: cd repo git --git-dir /tmp/foo.git init #just init an empty repo somewhere git --git-dir /tmp/foo.git --work-tree . status --ignored -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Git for human beings group.

I would change the gitignore file to: .* !*.cpp !*.res but I would also removed tracked files, which are added to the repo if the files does not match the ignore pattern. I would like to check the current files after changing the gitignore which will not be matched and after that I will remove them from the repo How can I do this I'm not 100% sure I understand what you wish to do, but you might want to look at `git clean`.
