# ignore patterns
|
|
|
|
It is possible to ignore specific patterns when using dotdrop. For example for `compare` when temporary
|
|
files don't need to appear in the output.
|
|
|
|
* for [install](usage#install-dotfiles)
|
|
* using `instignore` in [the config file](config)
|
|
* for [compare](usage#compare-dotfiles)
|
|
* using `cmpignore` in [the config file](config)
|
|
* using the command line switch `-i --ignore`
|
|
* for [update](usage#update-dotfiles)
|
|
* using `upignore` in [the config file](config)
|
|
* using the command line switch `-i --ignore`
|
|
|
|
The ignore pattern must follow Unix shell-style wildcards like for example `*/path/to/file`.
|
|
Make sure to quote those when using wildcards in the config file.
|
|
|
|
Patterns used on a specific dotfile can be specified relative to the dotfile destination (`dst`).
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
config:
|
|
cmpignore:
|
|
- '*/README.md'
|
|
upignore:
|
|
- '*/README.md'
|
|
instignore:
|
|
- '*/README.md'
|
|
...
|
|
dotfiles:
|
|
d_vim
|
|
dst: ~/.vim
|
|
src: vim
|
|
upignore:
|
|
- "*/undo-dir"
|
|
- "*/plugged"
|
|
...
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
# examples
|
|
|
|
To completely ignore comparison of a specific dotfile:
|
|
```yaml
|
|
dotfiles:
|
|
d_vim
|
|
dst: ~/.vim
|
|
src: vim
|
|
cmpignore:
|
|
- "*"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
To ignore specific directory when updating
|
|
```yaml
|
|
dotfiles:
|
|
d_colorpicker:
|
|
src: config/some_directory
|
|
dst: ~/.config/some_directory
|
|
upignore:
|
|
- '*sub_directory_to_ignore'
|
|
``` |
