Create directory trees and file names in your browser and validate .gitignore pattern syntax against the given tree.
This project is auto-deployed to GitHub pages using GitHub Actions.
A misunderstanding I once had regarding parsing of ignore patterns, which
emerged while creating a .prettierignore file.
See this repository (first commit vs 2nd commit).
From git-scm documentation:
An optional prefix "!" which negates the pattern; any matching file excluded by a previous pattern will become included again. It is not possible to re-include a file if a parent directory of that file is excluded. Git doesn’t list excluded directories for performance reasons, so any patterns on contained files have no effect, no matter where they are defined.
(emphasis mine)
This seems to be a common misunderstanding, as for example this parser, which I previously used in this project, does not handle that case correctly.
Now this project uses the same parser that prettier and a lot of other projects use:
This project uses Vite and was scaffolded using
create-vite-app.
Also uses geist-ui.
