Package Information

Descriptionmatching paths against gitignore rules (Go library)

A Go library for matching paths against gitignore rules. Pattern matching uses a direct wildmatch implementation (two-pointer backtracking, same algorithm as git's wildmatch.c) rather than compiling patterns to regexes or delegating to filepath.Match

* Wildmatch engine modeled on git's own wildmatch.c, tested against git's wildmatch test suite * Bracket expressions with ranges, negation, backslash escapes, and all 12 POSIX character classes ([:alnum:], [:alpha:], etc.) * Proper ** handling (zero or more directories, only when standalone between separators) * core.excludesfile support with XDG fallback * Automatic nested .gitignore discovery via NewFromDirectory and Walk * Negation patterns with correct last-match-wins semantics * Directory-only patterns (trailing /) with descendant matching * Match provenance via MatchDetail (which pattern, file, and line number matched) * Invalid pattern surfacing via Errors() * Literal suffix fast-reject for common patterns like *.log

This package contains the Go development library.
