lime-green / unison-gitignore Goto Github PK

I've tried passing the argument -ui graphic to get the gtk version of unison, but it doesn't work for me. As a work around I've modified my local code, replacing new_cmd = ["unison"] + cmd with new_cmd = ["unison-gtk"] + cmd, but suspect it could be incorporated into the code in a way similar to how unison uses unison-gtk for the GUI, i.e. unison-gitignore-gtk

I'm pretty new to Unison, so this might be a misunderstaning on my part! If I understand the following section correcly, it seems that unison-gitignore will mistakingly detect profile usage if any option is provided before the main arguments.

For example:

# Here we call -auto before the root arguments, and .gitignore patterns are not added
% unison-gitignore -auto root1 root2
unison_gitignore :: WARNING  :: No .gitignore patterns will be added since a unison profile was given

# Now we move -auto to after the root arguments, and everything works as expected
% unison-gitignore dir1 dir2 -auto

Again, new to unison, but the usage docs state:

Usage: unison [options]
    or unison root1 root2 [options]
    or unison profilename [options]

So would detecting if cmd[1].startswith("-") even detect profilename—or is that not the point?

Also thanks for sharing the great tool, it's been incredibly useful to me!

Instead of using .gitignore, I'd like to have unison ignore any files under git control as listed by the command git ls-files. I started working on this by branching your code, but quickly got over my head.
