Overview
This release adds support for one major feature (.dockerignore syntax) and has been a long time coming in an effort to ensure the stability of that feature. It's finally time to release it and make way for more features, enhancements, and bug fixes.
.dockerignore syntax
Mutagen's default ignore syntax is based on .gitignore syntax, which differs not only syntactically from .dockerignore, but also in terms of filesystem traversal behavior. Implementing support for .dockerignore syntax was technically complex, but well worth the effort. This makes it easier for Docker and BuildKit users to align their tooling with Mutagen. To enable the new syntax, use the --ignore-syntax flag with mutagen sync create or use YAML configuration similar to the following:
sync:
defaults:
ignore:
syntax: docker
paths:
- ignore1
- ignore2
- ...
Note that Mutagen merely supports the same syntax as .dockerignore files, but it won't read them from disk.
