Have you wondered why a file or directory is being ignored in your Git repository and isn't appearing when you run `git status`?
Maybe you have multiple `.gitignore` files and you don't know which is causing the issue, or you ignore everything and explicitly unignore the files that you want to add.
## `check-ignore` to the rescue
`git check-ignore` accepts a list of paths and checks if each is ignored.
There's also a `--verbose` option that will tell you which `.gitignore` file is causing it to be ignored as well as the line number and the pattern - great information for debugging, and no more force adding files.
