NAME

Text::Gitignore - Match .gitignore patterns

SYNOPSIS

    use Text::Gitignore qw(match_gitignore build_gitignore_matcher);

    my @matched_files = match_gitignore(['pattern1', 'pattern2/*'], @files);

    # Precompile patterns
    my $matcher = build_gitignore_matcher(['*.js']);

    if ($matcher->('foo.js')) {

        # Matched
    }

DESCRIPTION

Text::Gitignore matches .gitignore patterns. It combines Text::Glob and File::FnMatch functionality with several .gitignore-specific tweaks.

EXPORTED FUNCTIONS

match_gitignore

    my @matched_files = match_gitignore(['pattern1', 'pattern2/*'], @files);
