<p><pre class="rule-signature"><code>None</code> ignore_directories(dirs)</pre></p>
The list of directories to ignore in this repository. <p>This function takes a list of strings and a directory is ignored if any of the given strings matches its repository-relative path according to the semantics of the <code>glob()</code> function. This function can be used to ignore directories that are implementation details of source control systems, output files of other build systems, etc.
