UnverifiedIf a directory is ignored by Git, Git will not recursively enter that directory to inspect the files inside; therefore, the !*/ rule is needed to preserve the directory structure in order for file-level whitelisting to take effect.73% similarUnverifiedGit 的 diff 命令可以精确显示任意两个提交之间的差异，checkout 命令可以将单个文件恢复到指定提交的状态71% similarUnverifiedFiles already tracked by Git are not affected by .gitignore, because once a file enters Git's object database, .gitignore cannot intervene in its tracking status.71% similarUnverified.gitignore takes effect at the git add stage, making matching files completely 'invisible' to Git.71% similarUnverifiedFor files that have already been tracked by Git, subsequently adding them to .gitignore will have no effect; the git rm --cached command must first be used to untrack them.70% similar
