[Feature] Find the files ignored in .gitignore

[kunaltyagi]

Is this feature missing in the latest version?

• I'm using the latest release

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

We have some files which are a nuisance to dev (eg: binaries) but useful for automation. We'd like to know when our ci changes those binaries but current action does not allow that

Describe the solution you'd like?

A new option:

• include_ignored_files (or similar boolean)

Describe alternatives you've considered?

Parse git status --ignored but that's a new headache :)

Anything else?

@kunaltyagi This should now be available in the latest release via the match-ignore-files input which is enabled by default.

Thanks a ton @jackton1

Just a simple follow up:

| match-gitignore-files | string | true | "true" | Indicates whether to match filesin .gitignore |

What should match-gitignore-files be to not match gitignore? Would any string not equal to true work (eg: TRUE, yes, 1)?

Technically any other string other than “true” but this might change in the future so I’ll suggest using “false”
