-## Logging
-
-The `-loglevel` flag allows you to control the verbosity of the application's logging output. 
-
-Acceptable values for this flag are:
-
-- `trace`
-- `debug`
-- `info`
-- `warn`
-- `error`
-- `fatal`
-- `panic`
-
-For example, to set the log level to `debug`, you can use:

-```bash
-gignore -loglevel=debug -dir=custom go

-
-The default log level is `warn` if the flag is not specified.
