aklump/gitignore
================

[](#aklumpgitignore)

A small library to allow you to work with [.gitignore (glob) patterns](https://git-scm.com/docs/gitignore#_pattern_format).

Test a .gitignore pattern
-------------------------

[](#test-a-gitignore-pattern)

```
$pattern = new \AKlump\GitIgnore\Pattern('foo/**/*.php');
$pattern->matches('foo/bar/baz/lorem.php') === TRUE;
```

Convert to RegEx
----------------

[](#convert-to-regex)

```
$pattern = new \AKlump\GitIgnore\Pattern('settings*.php');
$pattern->toRegex() === '#^settings[^/]*\.php/?$#';
```

Check If String Contains a Pattern
----------------------------------

[](#check-if-string-contains-a-pattern)

```
\AKlump\GitIgnore\Analyzer::containsPattern('foo/**') === TRUE
\AKlump\GitIgnore\Analyzer::containsPattern('foo/bar') === FALSE
```
