## Install

Install with [npm](https://www.npmjs.com/):

```sh

$ npm install --save dotdir-regex

```

## Usage

To be considered a dot **directory**:

* the path must contain a dot that is at the beginning of the string or following a slash

* the next character after the dot must not be another dot

* one or more non-slash characters must follow the dot

* a slash must follow after at least one non-dot, non-slash character

To check for dot **files**, use [dotfile-regex](https://github.com/regexps/dotfile-regex) instead.

```js

var regex = require('dotdir-regex');

var match = regex().exec('.git/a/b/c');

// match[1] => '.git'

regex().test('a/b/c/.gitignore');

//=> false

regex().test('a/.git/a/b/');

//=> true

```
