Summary
The
deno checkreference page didn't mention how to scope or exclude paths from type-checking — a reader asked in #2915 "How do I ignore checking files under a directory?" and the page only showed checking single files or lists of files.Adds a short Scoping and excluding files section to
runtime/reference/cli/check.mdcovering:deno check src/,deno check "src/**/*.ts")excludefield indeno.json, which applies todeno checkalong withdeno fmt/deno lintKept the addition focused per the issue's guidance — one section, one code block, link out to the configuration reference for the deeper details.
