Using Git in Your Gemspec, example 3

UsingGitInYourGemspec_example3.rb

  # Part of Vagrant's gemspec  
  
  # The following block of code determines the files that should be included
  # in the gem. It does this by reading all the files in the directory where
  # this gemspec is, and parsing out the ignored files from the gitignore.
  # Note that the entire gitignore(5) syntax is not supported, specifically
  # the "!" syntax, but it should mostly work correctly.

  all_files.reject! { |file| file.start_with?("website/") }

    # Ignore any paths that match anything in the gitignore. We do
    # two tests here:
    #
    #   - First, test to see if the entire path matches the gitignore.
    #   - Second, match if the basename does, this makes it so that things
    #     like '.DS_Store' will match sub-directories too (same behavior
    #     as git).
