Feature request: Ignore specified files/folders #1

Open quienn opened 1 week ago

quienn commented 1 week ago

I'm currently using this tool to backup certain folders in my laptop: code projects, most of them Node.js-based, and personal documents. And in both cases I'd love to be able to ignore certain things from the syncing process, like .git and node_modules folders.

This feature could be implemented behind of a --ignore flag or a .gio-sync-ignore file with a list of paths, or both options.

Hello there! Nice to know that you're getting some good use from the project.

This feature makes perfect sense, but I'm curious -- are you just backing up files from disk-to-disk? Is there a reason for your usecase that "rsync" isn't a better choice?

Yes! I'm using the Google Drive backend. And I know there's things like rclone and google-drive-ocamlfuse, but it makes more sense for me to use the already built-in GVFS instead of yet another tool that comes with its own set of extra dependencies. It integrates perfectly on my GNOME desktop.

I see! Thanks for the detail, that does make sense. I can certainly look at this for you over the coming weeks. Since I know someone's using it, I'll have a go at packaging it up in PIP, too.

If you're keen to make the change, of course please feel free to have a go at a PR, too.
