Ignore or include files

You can also ignore or include files by providing a full or relative path to a .fupignore or .fupinclude file. If you specify a .fupignore file, all files will be included by default except files that are affected by the .fupignore file. However, if you specify a .fupinclude file, all files will be ignored by default.

from fup.updater import FileUpdater

file_updater = FileUpdater(output_console=True, fup_file_path=r'C:\Temp\.fupignore.txt')

Example for such a file:

# full paths
c:\Temp\From\text4.docx
c:\Temp\From\sub

# relative paths (need to have exclamation mark at the start of the line)
!sub\text3.docx

# ignore or include certain file extensions
*.txt

# ignore or include general files or directories
*file_1.txt
*sample_dir
