Ignoring scripts with .chezmoiignore

[canac]

Can scripts be ignored with .chezmoiignore? My scripts are in .chezmoiscripts/ and adding them to .chezmoiignore doesn't seem to have any effect. Even with a line *.sh, all the scripts still run. If .chezmoiignore doesn't affect scripts that might be a good thing to document.

Yes. Note that you have to include .chezmoiscripts/ and remove any attributes from the source path as .chezmoiignore works with target paths.

For example, if you have a script in a file called .chezmoiscripts/run_once_configure-linux.sh that you don't want to run on non-Linux machines you would put this in your .chezmoiignore file:

{{ if ne .chezmoi.os "linux" }}
.chezmoiscripts/configure-linux.sh
{{ end }}

#2515 adds a test that demonstrates this.

My problem was the run_once_before_ prefix. Thanks for the tip!
