func ReadAll ¶

func ReadAll(reader io.Reader) ([]string, error)

ReadAll reads an ignore file from a reader and returns the list of file patterns to ignore, applying the following rules:

• An UTF8 BOM header (if present) is stripped.
• Lines starting with "#" are considered comments and are skipped.

For remaining lines:

• Leading and trailing whitespace is removed from each ignore pattern.
• It uses filepath.Clean to get the shortest/cleanest path for ignore patterns.
• Leading forward-slashes ("/") are removed from ignore patterns, so "/some/path" and "some/path" are considered equivalent.
