Ignore patterns

Repeat --ignore (-i) to exclude files from restarts.

pyreload app.py -i '*__pycache__*' -i '*.pyc' -i '*/.venv/*'

Patterns are matched against event paths. Include wildcards around directory names when the path may include a parent directory. Directory events are ignored.

Debug matching

pyreload app.py --debug -i '*.log'

A generated file that matches a watch pattern can cause repeated restarts. Write generated output outside watched roots or explicitly ignore it.

Store shared exclusions in a configuration file.
