babel: Ignore specified comma-separated files in a directory.
$ babel ${path-to-input_directory} --ignore ${ignored_files}
try on your machine

This command is used to transpile JavaScript files using Babel. Here is a breakdown of the command:

  • ${path-to-input_directory}: This is a placeholder that should be replaced with the path to the directory containing the JavaScript files you want to transpile. For example, if your JavaScript files are located in a directory called "src", you would replace ${path-to-input_directory} with src.

  • --ignore ${ignored_files}: This is an optional part of the command that allows you to specify files or patterns to be ignored during the transpilation process. The ${ignored_files} placeholder should be replaced with the files or patterns you want to ignore. For example, if you want to ignore all files with the .test.js extension, you would replace ${ignored_files} with *.test.js.

In summary, this command will transpile JavaScript files in the specified input directory using Babel, while ignoring any files or patterns specified in the --ignore option.

This explanation was created by an AI. In most cases those are correct. But please always be careful and never run a command you are not sure if it is safe.
