git_ignore.rs

This is an implementation of .gitignore parsing and matching in Rust. Use this library if you want to check whether a given path would be excluded by a .gitignore file.

Usage

The crate is called git_ignore and you can use it simply by depending on it via Cargo:

toml [dependencies.git_ignore] git = "https://github.com/nathankleyn/git_ignore.rs.git"

There is a simple example binary which you can view to see how you might apply this library. A simple example is as follows:

```rust // Create a file let file = gitignore::file::File::new(pathto_gitignore, None).unwrap();

// This returns a bool as to whether the file matches a rule in the .gitignore file. file.matches(&path).unwrap(); ```
