    ignore: improve `git_ignore_path_is_ignored` description Git analogy In attempt to provide adequate Git command analogy in regards to ignored files handling, `git_ignore_path_is_ignored` description mentions doing `git add .` on directory containing the file, and whether the file in question would be added or not - but behavior of the two matches for untracked files only, making the comparison misleading in general sense. For tracked files, Git doesn't subject them to ignore rules, so even if a rule applies, `git add .` would actually add the tracked file changes to index, while `git_ignore_path_is_ignored` would still consider the file being ignored (as it doesn't check the index, as documented). Let's provide `git check-ignore --no-index` as analogous Git command example instead, being more aligned with what `git_ignore_path_is_ignored` is about, no matter if the file in question is already tracked or not. See issue #4720 (git_ignore_path_is_ignored documentation misleading?, 2018-07-10)[1] for additional information. [1] https://github.com/libgit2/libgit2/issues/4720
