Adds a utility to convert gitignore patterns into minimatch/micromatch-compatible glob patterns, covering all rules from the official git documentation.

Changes

src/tools/gitignore.ts

  • convertGitignorePatternToMinimatch(pattern): string | null — returns null for blank lines and comments, otherwise produces a valid minimatch/micromatch pattern

Conversion rules applied:

Input Output Reason
"" / " " null blank line
"# comment" null comment
"\\#file" / "\\!file" "**/#file" / "**/!file" escaped leading char
"foo" "**/foo" no slash → match at any depth
"/foo" "foo" leading slash → anchor to root
"foo/bar" "foo/bar" mid slash → anchored
"foo/" "**/foo/**" trailing slash → directory-only
"/foo/" "foo/**" anchored directory
"!foo" "!**/foo" negation preserved
"**/foo", "a/**/b" unchanged already valid minimatch

Trailing whitespace is stripped character-by-character from the right. A trailing space/tab preceded by an odd number of backslashes is preserved (escaped); all others are stripped. This correctly handles \\ + space (double backslash escapes itself, not the space).

tests/tools/gitignore.test.ts

  • 29 end-to-end test cases derived from the node-ignore project's test fixture.
  • For each case, node-ignore is used as the source-of-truth baseline to determine whether a given path should be ignored by the pattern. The pattern is then converted with convertGitignorePatternToMinimatch and both minimatch and micromatch are asserted to produce the same match result.
  • Covers: blank lines, comments, hash/exclamation escaping, trailing whitespace, unanchored patterns, character sets and ranges, anchored patterns, leading-slash anchoring, trailing-slash directory patterns, and **/ / /**/ globstar patterns.

src/tools/index.ts

  • Re-exports convertGitignorePatternToMinimatch from the root package entry point.

Dependencies

  • Added ignore, minimatch, micromatch, and @types/micromatch as devDependencies for use in tests.

@copilot 还需要做一些改动:

  • 该项目使用 pnpm 包管理器,请删除生成的 package-lock 文件
  • 测试用例可使用来自 node-ignore 项目的测试用例,它的覆盖面更广
  • 因为最终目标是实现模式的正确转换,因此测试可考虑改为 e2e 测试,即给定模式和路径,使用 node-ignore 检查是否匹配,结果作为基准,再将给定模式通过当前工具函数转换,使用 minimatch 和 micromatch 检查匹配结果是否与基准一致

Done in commit e011ecc:

  • package-lock.json removed — ran pnpm install --no-frozen-lockfile to add the new test dependencies to pnpm-lock.yaml instead.
  • Tests rewritten as e2e tests — each test case defines a gitignore pattern + a set of paths. node-ignore is used as the source-of-truth baseline (ig.ignores(path)), the pattern is converted with convertGitignorePatternToMinimatch, and then minimatch + micromatch are both asserted to produce the same result. Test cases are taken directly from the node-ignore project's test fixture.
  • Trailing whitespace fix — the stripping logic now processes characters one at a time (right-to-left), correctly handling abc\ abc\ (second unescaped space stripped) and foo\\ foo\\ (even number of backslashes means the space is not escaped).
