Exclude and ignore using .tipiignore

You can create an ignore file named .tipiignore in the your project. The syntax is identical to the syntax of .gitignore (official documentation for https://git-scm.com/docs/gitignore)

Files that are ignored by your .gitignore are not ignored during tipi source scan

Ignore rules can be provided as well via the -x <ignorerule> command line switch and x attribute in the depspec

Target specific ignore rules using .tipiignore.<target>

If you find the need to specify target specific rules for your build (for example to exclude a target OS specific test or example from your otherwise fully cross-platform compatible library) you can create target specific .tipiignore.<target> files in your project.

Please note that the <target> part requires an exact match (ex. for a tipi . -t linux-cxx17 build you'd create a .tipiignore.linux-cxx17 file).

Additionally the .tipiignore rules are considered a base rule set and are applied for all targets even when a specific match is found: this means that rules of .tipiignore.linux-cxx17 and of a base .tipiignore are additive

Examples

# exclude everything except directory foo/bar
/*
!/foo
/foo/*
!/foo/bar

# exclude every .cpp ending by a number or by .swp.
[0-9].cpp
*.swp.cpp
