go-pathspec implements gitignore-style pattern matching for paths.

## Alternatives

There are a few alternatives, that try to be gitignore compatible or even state

gitignore compatibility:

### https://github.com/go-git/go-git

go-git states it would be gitignore compatible, but actually they are missing a few

special cases. This issue describes one of the not working patterns: https://github.com/go-git/go-git/issues/108

What does not work is global filename pattern matching. Consider the following

`.gitignore` file:

```gitignore

# gitignore test file

parse.go

```

Then `parse.go` should match on all filenames called `parse.go`. You can test this via

this shell script:

```shell

mkdir -p /tmp/test/internal/util

touch /tmp/test/internal/util/parse.go

cd /tmp/test/

git init

echo "parse.go" > .gitignore

```

With git `parse.go` will be excluded. The go-git implementation behaves different.

### https://github.com/monochromegane/go-gitignore

monochromegane's go-gitignore does not support the use of `**`-operators.

This is not consistent to real gitignore behavior, too.
