Parse a .gitignore or .npmignore file into an array of patterns.

Install
Install with npm:
$ npm install --save parse-gitignore
Heads up!
Breaking changes in v1.0!
Prior to v1.0, this library also attempted to convert the returned patterns into valid globs.
As of v1.0, parse-gitignore was refactored and simplified down to less than ~50 sloc and no dependencies to provide a quick and easy way of getting the array of ignore patterns from a .gitignore file. This allows you to do whatever you need to do with the patterns.
Usage
const fs = require('fs');
const parse = require('parse-gitignore');
// pass the contents of a .gitignore file as a string or buffer
console.log(parse(fs.readFileSync('foo/bar/.gitignore')));
//=> ['*.DS_Store', 'node_modules', ...];
Example
Parses the contents of a .gitignore
file, like the folowing:
# Logs
logs
*.log
npm-debug.log*
yarn-debug.log*
yarn-error.log*
# Runtime data
pids
*.pid
*.seed
*.pid.lock
Into an array, like the following:
[ 'logs',
'*.log',
'npm-debug.log*',
'yarn-debug.log*',
'yarn-error.log*',
'pids',
'*.pid',
'*.seed',
'*.pid.lock' ]
