<function>pkgs.nix-gitignore</function> is a function that acts similarly to
|
|
<literal>builtins.filterSource</literal> but also allows filtering with the

|
help of the gitignore format.

<para>
|
|
<literal>pkgs.nix-gitignore</literal> exports a number of functions, but
|
|
you'll most likely need either <literal>gitignoreSource</literal> or
|
|
<literal>gitignoreSourcePure</literal>. As their first argument, they both
|
|
accept either 1. a file with gitignore lines or 2. a string
|
|
with gitignore lines, or 3. a list of either of the two. They will be
|
|
concatenated into a single big string.

These functions are derived from the <literal>Filter</literal> functions
|
|
by setting the first filter argument to <literal>(_: _: true)</literal>:

</para>

|
<programlisting><![CDATA[
|

gitignoreSourcePure = gitignoreFilterSourcePure (_: _: true);

gitignoreSource = gitignoreFilterSource (_: _: true);

<para>
|
|
Those filter functions accept the same arguments the <literal>builtins.filterSource</literal> function would pass to its filters, thus <literal>fn: gitignoreFilterSourcePure fn ""</literal> should be extensionally equivalent to <literal>filterSource</literal>. The file is blacklisted iff it's blacklisted by either your filter or the gitignoreFilter.
