Ignore well know directories

[laoshaw]

can ddh ignore known directories such as node_modules, .mypy_cache, CMakefile Release/Debug directories,etc

or just respect .gitignore by default(or not by default).

I personally don't like the idea of baking in "well known" constants as those will change over time. I am open to building in ignore list functionality which could operate similarly to the directories argument. Would that suffice?

[laoshaw]

Sounds good to me, as long as I can ignore certain directories easily. Thanks!

[darakian]

Cool. Give me a bit to think through how to implement this and then to do so.

@laoshaw I've made a new branch ignore-dirs. Can I ask you to test it to see if it works for you? There's a new flag --ignore/-i which functions like the -d flag for directories

[laoshaw]

works for me. Thanks!

Good to hear. I'm gonna hold off a bit on merging that to main and maybe get some of my own testing done in the next few weeks. Please ping back here if you hit any bugs.
