Gitignore Parser

A very simple .gitignore parser for node.js.


Installation

npm install gitignore-parser

Usage

``js
var parser = require('gitignore-parser'),
fs = require('fs');

var gitignore = parser.compile(fs.readFileSync('.gitignore', 'utf8'));

gitignore.accepts('LICENSE.md') === true;
gitignore.denies('LICENSE.md') === false;

gitignore.accepts('node_modules/mocha/bin') === false;
gitignore.denies('node_modules/mocha/bin') === true;


var files = [
'.gitignore',
'.travis.yml',
'LICENSE.md',
'README.md',
'package.json',
'lib/index.js',
'test/index.js',
'test/mocha.opts',
'node_modules/mocha/bin/mocha',
'node_modules/mocha/README.md'
];

// only files that are not gitignored
files.filter(gitignore.accepts);

// only files that are gitignored
files.filter(gitignore.denies);
