Anybody willing to maintain a fork?

[chmac]

It looks like @samuelmeuli hasn't been active on this repo for over a year. If somebody wants to maintain a fork that would be awesome, it seems like a great piece of code. @Frizlab maybe? :-)

[Frizlab]

Okay I have started modernisation on https://github.com/Frizlab/tmignore/tree/develop, but I do not guarantee I’ll be able to actually finish nor maintain this.

[chmac]

@Frizlab Totally understandable, the work of maintenance can be huge. What about posting an update here when you feel like the code is ready for use? What about enabling issues on your fork repo?

For anyone who's impatient and finds this issue, my research suggests that heptapod is the best bet for something that works today, supports exclusions, and seems to be really simple (which I hope means less maintenance hassles and it Just Works™ for longer!).

[Frizlab]

Yes of course, I'll keep you posted. My goal is first to move all the old deps to new ones (e.g. use Apple's Argument Parser, a better logger, a better exec module, etc.)
Then I'll see what I can do in terms of evolution of the product itself.

Can you add support for iCloud ignoring as well ... pretty please! ;)

[Frizlab]

I’d love to but if I remember correctly it’s not possible. Only files/folders whose name end with .nosync are ignored by iCloud AFAIK.
If I’m wrong, I’d be happy to add whatever code is necessary to have iCloud ignoring though.

[tomitrescak]

Yah, I bumped into this :/ no worries safe to ignore

I'm curious about what happened to him, he hasn't had Github activity for over a year

I'm working on my own version of same functionality. You can check it in reeywhaar/tmbliss

This works very well! I just used it to exclude all the gitignores files from my coding repos. Verified with tmutil and mdfind that it added everything it should have. Thanks!
