Option to ignore a data type

[adamwintle]

When running an extract it could be useful to have a flag ignore or not extract some of the data for that particular extraction. e.g. gitify extract -content

Could later be expanded/more advanced e.g. gitify extract -contexts contextname which would then ignore that context, plus its content; or gitify extract -categories categoryname, and all elements inside that category are not extracted

I'd like to reverse this, by adding an option on the data type you want to extract/build, like Gitify extract content or Gitify build templates, in which it only does that one.

Why not both? Gitify extract -snippets does everything except snippets; Gitify extract snippets does only snippets.

Things like -vare shorthand for CLI options/flags, so that could get confusing/messy in the code. Also I think it's more likely you've just changed one thing and want to extract that, compared to wanting to extract everything except one thing.

True.

Also I think it's more likely you've just changed one thing and want to extract that

That may be true, but I can think of a lot of situations where you might want a couple of things but not others; maybe --exclude snippets would be better

I suggest this variant:

gitify build --exclude snippets chunks template
gitify build --only snippets chunks

Also for extracting:

gitify extract --exclude snippets chunks template
gitify extract --only snippets chunks

[alroniks]

😢 Cymfony Console not allow syntax --only something something etc. We need use --only="snippets,chunks"

Gitify extract templates chunks snippets works as of 0.8 (or current master), as does Gitify build templates chunks snippets. I've opened #79 to track the feature of excluding certain data so this one can be closed :D
