If the beginning of my cloc --vcs git output is something like the following:
1826 text files.
1780 unique files.
384 files ignored.
Question 1: Is there a way to get a list of all the files ignored by the cloc command?
Also, if I instead run cloc "repo_name", it shows a completely different number of files.
2106 text files.
1981 unique files.
346 files ignored.
Question 2: How can I get a list of which files are being skipped when running the --vcs command?
#1, Ref. the --ignored switch in the documentation (either at https://github.com/AlDanial/cloc or via cloc --help):
--ignored=<file> Save names of ignored files and the reason they
were ignored to <file>.
#2, --vcs git uses git ls-files to get the list of files to count. Without this, cloc does a recursive search in the given directory. If only a subset of files in "repo_name" are under git control, or if you have entries in .gitignore, the two methods of getting file names will differ. This is also explained in the documentation.
git ls-files --other
will show files that aren't under git control.
