use-git-ignore

Primitive gitignore pattern vocabulary for RustUse.

use-git-ignore classifies gitignore-style lines as blank lines, comments, negated patterns, directory patterns, or ordinary patterns. It does not decide whether a filesystem path is ignored.

Basic usage

use use_git_ignore::{GitIgnoreNegation, GitIgnoreRule};

let rule = GitIgnoreRule::parse("!target/").expect("valid ignore rule");

assert_eq!(rule.negation(), GitIgnoreNegation::Negated);
assert!(rule.is_directory_only());

Scope

• Classify pattern text, comments, blank lines, negation, and directory markers.
• Keep filesystem walking and ignore matching out of scope.
