Scanning and exclusions

Directory scans recurse from the supplied root. Sunset always skips .git, .idea, .vscode, node_modules, __pycache__, vendor, and every other hidden directory whose name starts with ..

If a root .gitignore exists, Sunset applies its patterns, including negation, directory-only, and anchored patterns. It then applies --exclude patterns. An exclude is matched against both the basename and the relative path; simple suffix patterns such as *.test.ts are also supported.

Unreadable entries are skipped. Only files with a supported extension are returned by the scanner.
