Vowignore File

Use .vowignore files to exclude files and directories from analysis.

Basic Usage

Create a .vowignore file in your project root:

# Ignore test files
test_*.py
*_test.py

# Ignore generated code
generated/
**/proto/*.py

# Ignore dependencies
node_modules/
vendor/

# Ignore specific patterns
*.pb.py
*_pb2.py

Syntax

The .vowignore file uses gitignore-style patterns:

• # for comments
• * for wildcards
• ** for recursive directory matching
• ! to negate patterns

Multiple Vowignore Files

You can have .vowignore files in subdirectories:

• Project root: .vowignore
• Subdirectories: subdir/.vowignore
• Global: ~/.config/vow/ignore
