I'm trying to write a yeoman generator and at one point I need to copy the files/folders of a github repo to the current working directory, eg:
this.remote('owner', 'repo', function (err, remote) {
remote.directory('.', '.');
});
However I want to ignore some of the files in this repo, is it possible to do so? I found the function responsible for this but it doesn't seem to be a clear way to do it, there's a process function that you can pass but I'm not sure if you can "cancel" a file being copied if it matches a certain pattern.
You should rely on the this.fs object rather than the old depreciated files methods.
Helper methods on this.fs support glob patterns, so ignoring some files become trivial.
