excluded path

[Raffaello]

it would be nice to also have an excluded path for eg:
given this directories:

|
|  - yaml_files
|  |  - subdir1
|  |  - ....
|  |  - subdirN   
|  |  - wanted_excuded_subdir

normally you should iterate on all N subdirs or creating a bash script filtering out the excluded dir(s).

so strictly cannot be run simple as yamllint yaml_files
but need to be expanded in something similar as cd yaml_files && yamllint subdir1 ... subdirN
or using gnu find

it would be a lot simpler have a sort of excluded path option eg:
yamllint --exclude-path yaml_files/wanted_excluded_subdir yam_files

or in short just matching a regExp in the path
yamllint --excluded-path wanted_excluded yam_files

Hi @Raffaello,

Can you test the in-progress feature described at #43 (comment) and implemented on the feat/ignore-paths branch, and tell us if it suits your needs?

[Raffaello]

i will have a look later for now i am doing a solution using gnu find, still not sure if it is working for a CI pipeline lint step check for the return codes.
but it is something like:
find yaml_files -path wanted_excluded_subdir -prune -o -name *.yml -exec yamlint {} \;

@adrienverge the ignore: key feature is what i am asking here for!! good one! i think we can close this as a duplicate.
