Hi !

Internally, the exclusion pattern matching is done against a string path. However, it seems that the this string path does not include a leading slash. So currently, to ignore top level files or directories, just don't include a slash at the beginning of the exclude expression. To ignore the .github folder in the root directory, just set the exclude pattern to .github/*.

However, as it is normal to address a root path with a leading slash, this might be beneficial to implement. This would be a breaking change, so we need to be sure that this is the most intuitive and conventional solution. The actual fix seems to be rather simple.

Just change this line:

[[ "/$f" == $EXCLUDE ]] && continue 

This would make it possible to exclude the root directory with the pattern /.github/* or */.github/*. However, the pattern .github would no longer work.

Feedback is much appreciated 🙏

it wasn't working for me either and I figured it out by experimentation. Even though it is a breaking change, I highly encourage to implement it.

Is it possible to exclude more than one folder?
