Review the root folder ignoring some folders

[Mirdrack]

Hello:

Can you tell me how I can review the root folder excluding some specific folders?
For instance I have my README.md file and others in my root directory but I want to exclude a vendor folder that contains multiple .md files from the vendors.
I have tried to use the ignore option but it don't work.

Here is my .vale.ini file:

 StylesPath = styles
  2 Packages = write-good, Readability
  3 MinAlertLevel = suggestion
  4
  5 [*.md]
  6 ignore = '.terraform/**'

I run it in the CLI as:

vale .

Is this is possible?

Thank you!

There is no such ignore option. You can use the --glob flag, though:

$ vale --glob='!.terraform/*' .

Thank you! This worked for my use case.
Is there a way to include this in the vale.ini

Also note that when you use such --glob options in the vale-action GitHub Action, you need to be careful with where you use which quotation marks.

e.g. I only got that to work when formatting it like this

vale_flags: '--glob=!.terraform/*'

I derived that from that answer in here as well as various code snippets that I found from other projects using value.
