rubocop: Exclude a cop.
$ rubocop --except ${cop_1} ${cop_2}
try on your machine

The command "rubocop --except ${cop_1} ${cop_2}" is used to run the RuboCop code analysis tool, but with specific cops (i.e., style rules) excluded from the analysis.

Here's a breakdown of the command:

  • "rubocop": This is the executable command for running RuboCop.
  • "--except": It is a flag that tells RuboCop to exclude specific cops from the analysis.
  • "${cop_1} ${cop_2}": These are the cops that you want to exclude. You can replace ${cop_1} and ${cop_2} with the actual names of the cops you want to exclude. Cops have names like "Layout/IndentationStyle" or "Style/AccessorMethodName".

By using the "--except" flag followed by the cop names, you can select which cops are skipped during the RuboCop analysis. This can be handy if you want to temporarily ignore certain cops within specific files or directories.

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.
