Patterns used on a specific dotfile can be specified relative to the dotfile destination (`dst`).
|
||||
|
||||
Similar to a `.gitignore` file, you can prefix ignore patterns with an exclamation point (`!`).
|
||||
This so-called "negative ignore pattern" will cause any files that match that pattern to __not__ be ignored,
|
||||
provided they *would have* been ignored by an earlier ignore pattern (dotdrop will warn if that is not the
|
||||
case). This feature allows you to, for example, ignore all files within a certain directory, except for one
|
||||
particular one (see example below).
