**GitignoreChecker** is a PHP library to check if a given paths is ignored by GIT.

USAGE
=====

[](#usage)

Initialize an object, providing the GIT repository root folder:

```
$gitIgnoreChecker = new GitIgnoreChecker(__DIR__);

```

You can now easily check if a given path is ignored by some `.gitignore` rule, with:

```
 $gitIgnoreChecker->isPathIgnored('/foo');  // true|false
 $gitIgnoreChecker->isPathIgnored('/README');
 $gitIgnoreChecker->isPathIgnored('/foo/bar');
 $gitIgnoreChecker->isPathIgnored('/foo/bar/baz');
 $gitIgnoreChecker->isPathIgnored('/.foo');
 ...

```

RUN TESTS
=========

[](#run-tests)

After making sure you installed dependencies with command `composer install`, you can run tests by executing:

```
php bin/phpunit

```

or executing:

```
composer test

```

---

Todo:

- do more tests: figure out some more cases and edge cases and add them to the current test suite

Done:

- handled most common `gitignore`, including the ones:
    - including subfolders, eg.`foo/bar`
    - including `*`, eg.`foo/*/bar`
    - including `**`, eg.`foo/**/bar`
    - beginning with `!`
    - beginning with `#`
    - beginning with `\#`
