šŸ› Bug Report

meta commands are also run on the meta repository itself.

To Reproduce

I’m using https://github.com/manno/quarks-meta When I run meta git status I see that ā€˜git status’ is executed on the meta repo itself.

Expected behavior

The documentation says meta will run the command ā€œin each directory listed in projects of the .meta JSON configuration fileā€. However the meta repo is not listed in that sections.

hm, not really sure it’s a bug as it’s always worked this way - perhaps the wording could be fixed though.

there are flags you can use to exclude a directory

For example, if the name of the meta directory is ā€œmetaā€

meta git status --exclude=meta
