Pants

how would I tell regex-lint (<https://www.pantsbuild.org/v2.15/docs/reference-regex-lint>) to skip a particular file or directory ?  I don't see anything in the docs...
We are using it targetless, do I need to add a BUILD file w/ a target and set the skip flag there somehow ?

You could probably just pants ignore the file. I forget that global option...

`[GLOBAL] pants_ignore = ["...path glob...", ...]`

I think you want all Pants operations to skip it IIUC

Ah, I missed context. I happen to know from other channels Asher is talking about a checked-in pantsup.sh script... I think anyhow.

I can do that for now... but ideally, I want to tell a specific tool (regex-lint) to skip files.

I think for that your guess was about right.

You must have a config like this: <https://www.pantsbuild.org/docs/reference-regex-lint#config|https://www.pantsbuild.org/docs/reference-regex-lint#config>

<@U051221NF> <@UHVF9QEPP> already started a thread about security concerns curling a script in CI and in general and he prefers checking it in.

ahh.. regex. not ideal but doeable. thanks! it didn't occur to me do do that when I looked at the config file.
