|
||||
A bit of context is called for here, because this functionality has
|
||||
previously caused a number of tricky, subtle bugs.
|
||||
|
||||
Fundamentally, here we are simply trying to avoid walking over the
|
||||
contents of the `.git` directory. Doing so potentially makes
|
||||
hundreds/thousands of needless syscalls, and can noticeably harm
|
||||
performance on machines with slow disks.
|
||||
|
||||
The earliest effort to solve this problem involved simply returning
|
||||
`fs.SkipDir` when the cheatsheet file path began with `.`, signifying a
|
||||
hidden directory. This, however, caused two problems:
|
||||
|
||||
1. The `.cheat` directory was ignored
|
||||
2. Cheatsheets installed by `brew` (which were by default installed to
|
||||
`~/.config/cheat`) were ignored
|
||||
|
||||
See: https://github.com/cheat/cheat/issues/690
|
||||
|
||||
To remedy this, the exclusion criteria were narrowed, and the search
|
||||
for a literal `.` was replaced with a search for a literal `.git`.
|
||||
This, however, broke user installations that stored cheatsheets in
|
||||
`git` submodules, because such an installation would contain a `.git`
|
||||
file that pointed to the upstream repository.
|
||||
|
||||
See: https://github.com/cheat/cheat/issues/694
|
||||
|
||||
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.
|
||||
|
||||
If it *is* found, we determine if `.git` refers to a file or directory,
|
||||
and only stop walking the path in the latter case.
