fix(Sheets): .gitignore
in cheatpath (#699)
Fix an issue whereby `cheat` would crash if a cheatpath contained a file that began with `.git`, like `.gitignore`.

Accounting for all of the above, we are now searching for the presence
|
||||
of a `.git` literal string in the cheatsheet file path. If it is not
|
||||
found, we continue to walk the directory, as before.
|
||||
The next attempt at solving this was to search for a `.git` literal
|
||||
string in the cheatsheet file path. If a match was not found, we would
|
||||
continue to walk the directory, as before.
|
||||
|
||||
If it *is* found, we determine if `.git` refers to a file or directory,
|
||||
and only stop walking the path in the latter case.
|
||||
If a match *was* found, we determined whether `.git` referred to a file
|
||||
or directory, and would only stop walking the path in the latter case.
|
||||
|
||||
This, however, caused crashes if a cheatpath contained a `.gitignore`
|
||||
file. (Presumably, a crash would likewise occur on the presence of
|
||||
`.gitattributes`, `.gitmodules`, etc.)
|
||||
|
||||
See: https://github.com/cheat/cheat/issues/699
|
||||
|
||||
Accounting for all of the above (hopefully?), the current solution is
|
||||
not to search for `.git`, but `.git/` (including the directory
|
||||
separator), and then only ceasing to walk the directory on a match.
|
||||
|
||||
To summarize, this code must account for the following possibilities:
|
||||
|
||||
1. A cheatpath is not a repository
|
||||
2. A cheatpath is a repository
|
||||
3. A cheatpath is a repository, and contains a `.git*` file
|
||||
4. A cheatpath is a submodule
|
||||
|
||||
Care must be taken to support the above on both Unix and Windows
|
||||
systems, which have different directory separators and line-endings.
|
||||
|
||||
There is a lot of nuance to all of this, and it would be worthwhile to
|
||||
do two things to stop writing bugs here:
|
||||
|
||||
1. Build integration tests around all of this
|
||||
2. Discard string-matching solutions entirely, and use `go-git` instead
|
||||
|
||||
NB: A reasonable smoke-test for ensuring that skipping is being applied
|
||||
correctly is to run the following command:
|
||||
|
||||
make && strace ./dist/cheat -l | wc -l
|
||||
|
||||
That check should be run twice: once normally, and once after
|
||||
commenting out the "skip" check in `sheets.Load`.
|
||||
|
||||
The specific line counts don't matter; what matters is that the number
|
||||
of syscalls should be significantly lower with the skip check enabled.
