flake8: Lint a file or directory recursively but exclude files matching the given globs or substrings.

flake8

$ flake8 --exclude ${substring1,glob2} ${filename_or_directory}

try on your machine

This command is using the "flake8" tool, which is a static analysis tool for checking Python code.

The "--exclude" flag is used to specify patterns of files or directories to be excluded from the code analysis. In this command, it is using the value ${substring1,glob2} to define the exclusion pattern. The substring1 is replaced with the desired substring, and glob2 is a wildcard expression to match multiple patterns.

The ${filename_or_directory} is the path to the file or directory that needs to be analyzed. It can be a specific filename or a directory containing multiple files.

Overall, this command is running the flake8 tool and excluding files or directories that match the specified exclusion pattern. The code analysis will be performed on the remaining files and directories to check for any Python code style violations.
