Manages ignore filters for syncs
Usage: sync-ignore [--show|[--add|--add-exclusion|--remove|--remove-exclusion] filter1 filter2 ...] (ID|localpath|DEFAULT)
To modify the default filters, use "DEFAULT" instead of local path or ID.
Note: when modifying the default filters, existing syncs won't be affected. Only newly created ones.
If no action is provided, filters will be shown for the selected sync.
Only the filters at the root of the selected sync will be accessed. Filters beloging to sub-folders must be modified manually.
Options:
--show Show the existing filters of the selected sync
--add Add the specified filters to the selected sync
--add-exclusion Same as "--add", but the is 'exclude'
Note: the `-` must be omitted from the filter (using '--' is not necessary)
--remove Remove the specified filters from the selected sync
--remove-exclusion Same as "--remove", but the is 'exclude'
Note: the `-` must be omitted from the filter (using '--' is not necessary)
Filters must have the following format: :
Must be either exclude, or include
exclude (`-`): This filter contains files or directories that *should not* be synchronized
Note: you must pass a double dash ('--') to signify the end of the parameters, in order to pass exclude filters
include (`+`): This filter contains files or directories that *should* be synchronized
May be one of the following: directory, file, symlink, or all
directory (`d`): This filter applies only to directories
file (`f`): This filter applies only to files
symlink (`s`): This filter applies only to symbolic links
all (`a`): This filter applies to all of the above
Default (when omitted) is `a`
May be one of the following: local name, path, or subtree name
local name (`N`): This filter has an effect only in the root directory of the sync
path (`p`): This filter matches against the path relative to the rooth directory of the sync
Note: the path separator is always '/', even on Windows
subtree name (`n`): This filter has an effect in all directories below the root directory of the sync, itself included
Default (when omitted) is `n`
May be one of the following: glob, or regexp
glob (`G` or `g`): This filter matches against a name or path using a wildcard pattern
regexp (`R` or `r`): This filter matches against a name or path using a pattern expressed as a POSIX-Extended Regular Expression
Note: uppercase `G` or `R` specifies that the matching should be case-sensitive
Default (when omitted) is `G`
Must be a file or directory pattern
Some examples:
`-f:*.txt` Filter will exclude all *.txt files in and beneath the sync directory
`+fg:work*.txt` Filter will include all work*.txt files excluded by the filter above
`-N:*.avi` Filter will exclude all *.avi files contained directly in the sync directory
`-nr:.*foo.*` Filter will exclude files whose name contains 'foo'
`-d:private` Filter will exclude all directories with the name 'private'
