* Patterns read from a `.gitignore` file in the same directory
as the path, or in any parent directory, with patterns in the
- higher level files (up to the root) being overriden by those in
+ higher level files (up to the root) being overridden by those in
lower level files down to the directory containing the file.
These patterns match relative to the location of the
`.gitignore` file. A project normally includes such
variable 'core.excludesfile'.
The underlying git plumbing tools, such as
-gitlink:git-ls-files[1] and gitlink:git-read-tree[1], read
+linkgit:git-ls-files[1] and linkgit:git-read-tree[1], read
`gitignore` patterns specified by command-line options, or from
files specified by command-line options. Higher-level git
-tools, such as gitlink:git-status[1] and gitlink:git-add[1],
+tools, such as linkgit:git-status[1] and linkgit:git-add[1],
use patterns from the sources specified above.
Patterns have the following format:
