Support .gitignore

[silverwind]

It'd be great if paths defined in .gitignore (or possible a dedicated .mispellignore) could be ignored, so I can run misspell * without the tool venturing into my node_modules or it checking other untracked files.

oh interesting idea @silverwind

It's on my list. It's the #1 feature request "How I can exclude files"

[client9]

in the meantime, if you can, you can do something like this

find . -name '*whatever*' -type f | grep -v IGNORE1 | grep -v IGNORE2 | xargs misspell

I know that's gross. But might help in short term. Ping me if you need help.

Thanks. For now I'll just use multiple globs to target only the files that I care about. It's probably also possible to exclude paths with extended shell globs, but that's getting pretty esoteric.

Is this still being worked on?

For anyone stumbling upon this, this command should work for you.

git ls-files | xargs misspell
