Option to exclude vendor?
Hi, I just tried out your tool after seeing it on the HN front page. Congrats 👍
When running on any Go codebase, the vendor folder needs to be excluded - it creates noise.
(For an example you could see openfaas/faas)
Does that make sense for your tool? --exclude /vendor/ for instance?
Was coming here to make a very similar request to ignore package.json/package-lock.json files in node.js projects.
A commenter on the HN post pointed out that Git allows you to specify a path like e.g. :!vendor/ and that will cause the folder to be ignored.
Because git who passes the path args on to git log, the following should actually work:
$ git who ':!vendor/'
That said, I wasn't aware of this functionality, and I think it won't work perfectly whenever git who is reading commits from its cache. I'll try to fix this for the next release.
Hey this should be fully supported by git who as of v0.7. Let me know if you have any trouble
In case this is helpful to others that come across this issue, if you want to exclude multiple paths:
git who -- ':!vendor/' ':!go.*'
