Struct ignore::gitignore::Gitignore

pub struct Gitignore { /* fields omitted */ }

Gitignore is a matcher for the globs in one or more gitignore files in the same directory.

Methods

impl Gitignore

pub fn new<P: AsRef<Path>>(gitignore_path: P) -> (Gitignore, Option<Error>)

Creates a new gitignore matcher from the gitignore file path given.

If it's desirable to include multiple gitignore files in a single matcher, or read gitignore globs from a different source, then use GitignoreBuilder.

This always returns a valid matcher, even if it's empty. In particular, a Gitignore file can be partially valid, e.g., when one glob is invalid but the rest aren't.

Note that I/O errors are ignored. For more granular control over errors, use GitignoreBuilder.

pub fn global() -> (Gitignore, Option<Error>)

Creates a new gitignore matcher from the global ignore file, if one exists.

The global config file path is specified by git's core.excludesFile config option.

Git's config file location is $HOME/.gitconfig. If $HOME/.gitconfig does not exist or does not specify core.excludesFile, then $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/git/ignore is read. If $XDG_CONFIG_HOME is not set or is empty, then $HOME/.config/git/ignore is used instead.

pub fn empty() -> Gitignore

Creates a new empty gitignore matcher that never matches anything.

Its path is empty.

pub fn path(&self) -> &Path

Returns the directory containing this gitignore matcher.

All matches are done relative to this path.

pub fn is_empty(&self) -> bool

Returns true if and only if this gitignore has zero globs, and therefore never matches any file path.

pub fn len(&self) -> usize

Returns the total number of globs, which should be equivalent to num_ignores + num_whitelists.

pub fn num_ignores(&self) -> u64

Returns the total number of ignore globs.

pub fn num_whitelists(&self) -> u64

Returns the total number of whitelisted globs.

pub fn matched<P: AsRef<Path>>(&self, path: P, is_dir: bool) -> Match<&Glob>

Returns whether the given path (file or directory) matched a pattern in this gitignore matcher.

is_dir should be true if the path refers to a directory and false otherwise.

The given path is matched relative to the path given when building the matcher. Specifically, before matching path, its prefix (as determined by a common suffix of the directory containing this gitignore) is stripped. If there is no common suffix/prefix overlap, then path is assumed to be relative to this matcher.

pub fn matched_path_or_any_parents<P: AsRef<Path>>(
    &self,
    path: P,
    is_dir: bool
) -> Match<&Glob>

Returns whether the given path (file or directory, and expected to be under the root) or any of its parent directories (up to the root) matched a pattern in this gitignore matcher.

NOTE: This method is more expensive than walking the directory hierarchy top-to-bottom and matching the entries. But, is easier to use in cases when a list of paths are available without a hierarchy.

is_dir should be true if the path refers to a directory and false otherwise.

The given path is matched relative to the path given when building the matcher. Specifically, before matching path, its prefix (as determined by a common suffix of the directory containing this gitignore) is stripped. If there is no common suffix/prefix overlap, then path is assumed to be relative to this matcher.

Panics

This method panics if the given file path is not under the root path of this matcher.
