Is it possible to exclude git repos under "/" or "/home/XXX" when scanning ? #120

Closed jiucenglou closed 3 years ago

When scanning, RepoZ locates git repos under WSL. The "open in Windows file explorer" leads to the Windows path, which contains "AppData\Local\Packages\CanonicalGroupLimited.Ubuntu" and therefore it is unsafe to modify the repo. (It would be safe to modify through "\wsl$" but the file system performance is unclear.) Could you suggest how to customize the root directory for scan or at least exclude git repos under WSL ? Many thanks !

You can't set the root directory for scans manually. What you can do is ignoring the repositories per right-click, this will keep them from be tracked by RepoZ. However, there's no wildcard like "ignore everything under C:\Users\Me\AppData\Local\*"

@awaescher I beg you to consider adding this as a feature.

With a local Time Machine backup of the entirety of my drives, RepoZ locates dozens, in some cases hundreds, of copies of the same repository. With each backup, this awesome utility is becoming more and more unusable.

Using the current solution I'm sure you can appreciate how impractical it is to manually remove around a thousand dupes, and keep on top of removing them every hour.

The ability to blacklist directories would more than suffice for my needs, but i could see adding regexes being a game changer to other users, too.

Understood. Let me have a look at this.

Ignoring repositories will be possible with wildcards in the next version. I chose a restricted set of wildcards over Regex because of performance considerations and because it does not require string escaping.

You can edit the ignore file manually, there's no UI for this at the moment.

Asterisk wildcards * are supported at the beginning and/or end of a path, like:

    C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Local*
    *AppData*
    *CanonicalGroupLimited.Ubuntu

You might want to ignore a repository in the UI and change the path(s) afterwards with wildcards.

I hope this fits your needs.
