It has been a while since I've found writing ignore files, like .gitignore, .dockerignore, or .fdignore, being a hassle.

I've struggled with including the correct files and excluding unwanted ones.

But now, there's no need to guess blindly! Experience the power of visualizing ignored (selected) files and receive instant feedback through intuitive representations.

Highlights

• Asynchronous output, so you can scroll smoothly while processing
• Extremely fast for large repositories
• Human friendly number representations
• Supports git and fd ignore files
• Supports custom ignore files and custom fd arguments (coming soon)

pip3 install vignore

The diffpath shall be absolute.

vignore [-h] -d DIFFPATH

optional arguments:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  -d DIFFPATH, --diffpath DIFFPATH
                        Path to visualize ignored files

You need to install fd, a fast find alternative.

You need to run this under a Unix-like OS.
