gulp-exclude-gitignore

Ever find yourself in a situation where you want to run a gulp plugin against every JavaScript file in your project? You do so, but then it start throwing at all your node_modules?

The usual fix is to add negative glob patterns to your gulp.src() call. Doesn't this feel verbose and tedious? There is a better way! You already have this list inside your .gitignore file, let's just use it.

Install

$ npm install --save-dev gulp-exclude-gitignore

Usage

var excludeGitignore = require('gulp-exclude-gitignore');
 
gulp.src('**/*.js')
  .pipe(excludeGitignore())
  .pipe(jshint());
