test

Test

To test the rules;

cd test
./test.sh

How it works

Steps:

1. The test.sh script runs some test functions that exercise the gitignore rules.

2. The script saves results into the results directory, so you can take a look.

3. The script calculates various outputs by using diff $actual $expect.

Commands

The outputs are essentially based on these two commands:

git check-ignore -v
git status --ignored 

Example directory structure

Example directory structure for the function test_dot_rules :

test
  results
    test_dot_rules
      git_check_ignore
        actual.txt
        expect.txt
      git_status
        actual.txt
        expect.txt
