Add support for multiple ignore-* rules in configuration file

Hi there 👋 Thank you for providing this amazing project to the community!

I recently stumbled upon a disturbing issue: we cannot define multiple ignore-by-title sections in the .gitlint configuration. It means that I cannot define different rules to ignore given a particular regex.

Did I missed something? Is this a limitation of the ini/cfg format?

2+ years later…

I just implemented ‘Named Rules’ which allows users to have multiple of the same rule active at the same time, like so:

# .gitlint file

[ignore-by-title:first-instance]
regex=(.*)ignore(.*)
ignore=all

[ignore-by-title:second-instance]
regex=(.*)foobar(.*)
ignore=B6

[ignore-by-title:thisCanReallyBeWhateverYouWant]
regex=(.*)hurdur(.*)
ignore=T2,T3

Of course it’s possible to create conflicting rules this way, but that’s up to the user to make sure that doesn’t happen.

This should solve this use-case 😃 This will go out as part of 0.14, somewhere in next few weeks.

it also has to do with how gitlint stores rules internally (only 1 instance of each rule can be active at once).

True, that why I’ve said that it would be deep refactoring.

I like your proposal, let’s do this!

Nothing hurries, let’s keep in touch and keep up the good work! 💪
