Git allow instead of ignore

.gitignore-rs

# Convert to allow list.

!.gitignore

# Allow package manifest.
!/Cargo.toml
!/Cargo.lock # delete if library

# Allow source files.
!/src/
!/src/**/

Allow

I'm noticing that ignore rules are more complicated than allow rules in Git. The .gitignore file flips the script and requires that anything to be committed to be allowed first.

• .gitignore &emdash; a basic example of an allow list
• .gitignore-rs &emdash; an example for a Rust project
