The git_ignore fix block in the grept tool is used to manage the .gitignore file in a repository. This block can be used to ensure certain entries are present or absent in the .gitignore file. If there's no .gitignore file, this fix would create one.
rule_ids: The ID list of the rules this fix is associated with. Any rule check failure would trigger this fix.exist: A list of entries that must be present in the.gitignorefile.not_exist: A list of entries that must not be present in the.gitignorefile.
The git_ignore fix block does not export any attributes.
Here's an example of how to use the git_ignore fix block in your configuration file:
fix "git_ignore" "example" {
rule_ids = ["example_rule"]
exist = ["*.log", "tmp/"]
not_exist = ["*.bak"]
}This will ensure that the entries *.log and tmp/ are present in the .gitignore file, and the entry *.bak is not present. If the rule with ID example_rule fails, the .gitignore file will be updated accordingly.
You can also use the exist attribute alone to ensure certain entries are present:
fix "git_ignore" "example" {
rule_ids = ["example_rule"]
exist = ["*.log", "tmp/"]
}Or use the not_exist attribute alone to ensure certain entries are not present:
fix "git_ignore" "example" {
rule_ids = ["example_rule"]
not_exist = ["*.bak"]
}These will update the .gitignore file accordingly if the rule with ID example_rule fails.
