Gitignorant

Gitignorant is (aspires to be)

• a spec-compliant .gitignore file parser and matcher
• for Python 3.7 and newer
• with full type hinting and test coverage
• and nothing you don't need

Features

• Parses .gitignore (and .gitignore style) files
• Matches against list of parsed rules with the same semantics as Git ("last rule wins")

Unfeatures

• Trees of .gitignore files are not directly supported, but can be supported by client code.
