Add a .valalintignore File #144

Closed kgrubb closed 2 years ago

kgrubb commented 4 years ago

Various other linters have the ability to lint a directory and its contents recursively, but skip over files/folders listed in a special .ignore file.

For example, eslint has an .eslintignore file that allows a project to ignore certain files or directories when running eslint.

It'd be nice to be able to run io.elementary.vala-lint in a directory and auto-ignore sub-directories that may be auto-generated or may include sub-projects that may not want/need to adhere to the elementary code standard.

It could be argued that all hidden files and/or all .gitignored files should be ignored for linting by default even without a special .valalintignore file.
