This is a test repository for inspecting the output of git
commands that
operate based on .gitignore
patterns, such as the command:
git check-ignore -vn "XXX/\'"
That command has the same effect in both PowerShell and in POSIX-compatible
(Bourne-style) shells like Bash: the final command-line argument is treated as
the literal text XXX/\'
. (On Windows, this is itself escaped and included in
a command string from which it has to be parsed out, but the usual parsing
rules turn it back into the literal value.)
The value XXX/\'
, and the pattern */\'
in .gitignore
, are from
make_baseline.sh
in the test suite of gitoxide.
