The default values for .bithoundrc that customizes bitHound project analysis. If you like the defaults and want to make additions, keep the contents of this file and add your values. Commit this file directly to your project's root and bitHound will pick it up on the next round of analysis.

By default bitHound ignores the files and folders in the ignore section and does not analyze them. It will also look for the folders in the test section so that test-file specific analysis is run on those files.

You can customize more analysis related to dependencies. Check out our other Gists.

BitHound should look for *test*.* files in the root as well. It's a very common pattern on microlibraries to have no folders.
