Exclude directory from spell checker

[strongishllama]

It would be great if we could exclude a directory from the spell checker. I've tried using the PySpelling configuration to do this, but it doesn't seem to work.

Thanks!

What have you tried? I'm the author of pyspelling, and that is usually the way to exclude directories.

This is what my .spellcheck.yml file looks like. I'm trying to ignore the assets directory.

matrix:
- name: Markdown
  aspell:
    lang: en
  dictionary:
    wordlists:
    - .wordlist.txt
    encoding: utf-8
  pipeline:
  - pyspelling.filters.markdown:
  - pyspelling.filters.html:
    comments: false
    ignores:
    - code
    - pre
  sources:
  - '**/*.md|!assets/*'
  default_encoding: utf-8

I guess you'll have to provide some example paths. I use similar logic in some of my own projects which works just fine: https://github.com/facelessuser/Rummage/blob/master/.pyspelling.yml#L82.

I'm also the author of the glob library that pyspelling uses (https://github.com/facelessuser/wcmatch), so if you can give some example paths, I can probably explain why it isn't working as expected. If I had to guess without seeing paths, you may need something like **/*.md|!assets/**, but I can't tell without some example paths.
